The exterior is decorated with irregularly arranged amber mottles and white suffusions in a tortoiseshell glaze effect. The glaze stops short of the shallow footring exposing a caramel-colored underlayer slip glaze. The footring and bottom are unglazed. The clay body after firing shows a light buff color.
