The short, narrow rim supports a body that splays in a double curve, ending in a conically narrowing neck. The shape is in the figure of two ducks joined at the back, with wings spread - the heads of the ducks protrude from the body on the two sides. The spotted, metallic glaze is dark crimson and gray.
