The straight foot supports a splaying body of a bulging shoulder line. The short, wide neck is indented on three sides, creating a soft, wavy top rim. The surface is covered with marbled blue and purple glazes, with thin veins. It was probably exhibited in Torino in 1902, together with its companion piece in the collection of the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts (Inv.No. 61.104.1).
