    The conical bowl has a strongly inward curved rim, and a very low foot with a broad, footring and convex base. The inside, outside and most of the base are covered with a dark brownish-black glaze, the inner sides are decorated with five thick radiating rust-brown splashes, the rim was wiped free and is covered with a white slip and a transparent glaze, leaving a broad gap between on the outside, where the grey biscuit is exposed, as on the footring.
