The interior is not highly finished. The exterior rounds out gently and begins to decrease in diameter as it approaches the upper break edge. Approximately 0.028 m above the bottom edge is a band of white slip 0.013 m in avg. pres. thickness. Approximately 0.035 m above this band is another, slightly thicker one. Above that are portions of what appear to be a tongue pattern in the same white slip. The entire ground is dusky red.
