Wheelmade Complete, intact but for tiny chips on rim. Clay light gray green, of lighter fabric than customary in this class. Considerable number of grits + air pocks. Light matt dusky purple-black paint. Low ring base rolled at bottom, but not at top. Distinctly convex walls rising gently to concave carinated rim and plain lip. Thin horizontal ribbon handles well away from rim and canted slightly up. Paint on lip. One narrow ring about 1/2 down inside dared spiral on floor. One ring about 1/3 down outside, so carelessly painted that it overlaps itself.
