A green and gray porcelain vessel features a tall, ribbed cylindrical body and short, narrow neck. Muted glaze drips in dark streaks from the shoulders over vertical ridges. A central blue shield-shaped relief displays a nude woman with a winged child, flanked by two tan wing-like forms. Small circular motifs repeat around the upper shoulders. The vessel rests on a scalloped base and terminates in a white rim at the top.
