The short, rimmed foot, supports a ball-shaped body of four sections. The top rim is cut in at four places, creating four backward curves. Two opposite sections on the sides are decorated with the face of a young woman with flowers in her hair and opposite an ugly old woman with no teeth. The soft, coulée glaze gathering in the dents enhances the embossed ornaments. The two other sections of the body are decorated with three horizontal ribs.
