Light gray clay, brown on surface, stained in areas around cracks. White slip; double coating of slip in bottom only. Underglaze painted in decoration in faint blue-gray cobalt: two horizontal lines at midpoint of body, single lines below rim and just above base, single ring in bottom; three floral sprays and three geometric designs paired, equally spaced around outside. Clear glaze, finely crackled, yellowish green where thick. Glaze has popped off above cobalt in some places.
