The bun-shaped body stands on a narrow, straight foot rim, ending in a narrow, splaying top rim. The surface is decorated with simple geometrical motifs, seven spear-shaped leaves, with a flower stem and an oval bud between them. The lines of the decoration are embossed. The surface of the dark olive glaze is irregular, dirty purple shades with crystal-clear melting into silky and matte glaze layers. At the neck, the buds are painted with protruding, yellowish, greasy glaze.
