Form swells gradually with corrugations indicating inadequately smoothed coils, from a flat round unglazed base without foot ring, to rounded shoulder; short neck with flaring rounded lip, wide mouth; red-brown ware. Thick green ash glaze covers jar evenly nearly to base; areas of darker splotches; spots of red-brown matte paint which may be remnants of characters; glossy crackled glaze, pitted and gritty, seriously degraded at junctions of underlying coils in shoulder area as well as in main body area; large patches of light ochre yellow dripping from shoulder area to just short of base.
