About this work

Round teapot with a low straight foot and rim, and a relatively slender conical spout. Inner and outer side covered with a black glaze. Where the glaze has been applied it appears red-brown. A piece of clay is baked on at the foot. Lid and handle are missing. Orange-baking clay is visible on the fracture surface.
