A muted light blue porcelain jar features a rounded, bulbous body and a short neck reinforced by a dark metal rim with small holes. Swirling cloud patterns molded into the exterior lead to a band of upright rectangular panels encircling the base. The glaze pools within recessed lines, highlighting the decorative textures. The vessel stands on a narrow base, widening significantly through the middle before reaching the metal-bound lip.
