Description

A two-handled vessel with a wide flat rim, a short neck and a rounded body, standing on a low ring foot on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop. The neck has wavy painted bands, the shoulder has rosette-like panels beside vertical hatched bands, and the body is encircled by thin horizontal lines and a broad dark band. Cracks are visible on the body, and a small label is partly visible at the left edge.
