The vessel is painted with a band of geometric design around the rim in red, white, and black. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a smoothed finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. There are striations on the interior surface from smoothing tool. Evidence of usewear includes residue/accretions on the interior. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1579."
