| Decoration | The rim of the mouth has a thin redish band round it, below is reserved, and then there is another thin reddish band. The handles begin just below this band, but rise above the mouth of the pot. The outside of the handles are black, the inside reserved. On either side of each handle are small blunt spurs (four in total). The main zone of the body is decorated, on either side, with lotuses between palmettes. Between the spurs and the handles are ivy leaves (three with stems, one without). Beneath each handle, there is a palmette. Below the main zone are three red bands, a thin one on either side of a thick one. There is then a reserved space, before another thin band, below which is a thick one. The molded foot has reserved ridges on either side of a reddish-black one. The base of the foot is also reserved. The inside of the pot is red. | ||||||||

| Condition | Restored from many separate pieces. Glaze on the rim is slightly worn, as are the handles. The outer surface is worn. There is a greyish-white deposit in patches all over the surface, especially around the spurs and the reserved area of the main zone, as well as the top of the foot. On the top ridge of the foot, there is a hole. Colour on the inside of the pot has mostly worn away, leaving only more of the same grey deposit. Lid missing. | ||||||||
