Complete. Much incrustation, decoration very worn. Wheelmade. Pebbles (?) fired inside. Flat base. Globular body with GD near top. At each end of body, a spout with medium length neck and flat rim. One is closed and perforated at rim. The other is closed and perforated inside at base of neck. Entire vase tips slightly downward toward spout perforated at top. Double roll handle between spouts, attached along neck bases, rising to rim level. Brown-black curvilinear/geometric decoration with added orange (perhaps once more added color). Border around base, but no traces of design on it. On lowest part of body very faded wave and vegetal design, elements arranged by size, tallest two are on opposite sides, at right angles to spouts. Above this decoration is in registers of waves with peaks over tallest points of vegetal pattern. Registers separated by double lines. Spouts similarly decorated but in straight registers, not waves. Black short strokes on rims, orange area in center. Area between spouts has concave sided rectangle with vegetal pattern. On handle, lines. Heavy to medium fabric.
