An olive-green and tan ash-glazed ceramic vessel features a rounded, bulbous body tapering to a small base. Vertical ridges texture the surface beneath mottled glaze, which streaks unevenly down the sides to reveal dark, reddish-brown clay. Thick, glossy droplets and small pits create a varied, rough texture across the form. A short, flared rim crowns the vessel's top.
