An off-white glazed stoneware vessel flares into a bulbous shape, narrowing toward an uneven, wavy rim. Symmetrical horizontal ridges sweep around the body, meeting at a vertical center line to curve downward. A grainy, pitted texture peppers the surface with dark brown speckles. Darker brown tones accent the sharp, layered edges of each ridge, where the underlying clay shows through the light glaze.
