The tall body is slightly barrel-shaped, with a wide, flat, slightly striated handle attached to it and the rim. The vessel shows areas of black crusty patina which acts as a foil to the patches of vivid green, gold, copper and purple iridescence. With a small chip to the handle trailing at the rim. Otherwise intact and choice.
