    The globular bottle has a very shallow footring, a pointed base and a narrow neck with cup-shaped mouth. The shoulder is painted in underglaze-brown with three scroll motifs under the translucent olive-green glaze which fully covers the vessel. On the base and footring the firing supports have left three gritty patches.
