Description

A rounded jug with a tall neck and a wide, flat-topped mouth, standing on a small foot ring. Dark paint on a pale ground forms a central vertical motif with a tulip-like top, flanking leaves, spirals, triangles and banded hatching, with dark panels on the sides. A painted number is near the base, and the vessel stands against a plain grey backdrop.
