Small jug, fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine inclusions.
It has globular body, a cylindrical neck with parallel walls, pointed lip and base with annular ledge. It has two handles with a circular cross-section with an upper button appendix attached to the neck.
The inner surface is glazed in a monochrome honey colour. On the outside, it is decorated in green and manganese on a white slip. In the neck, the decoration is of motifs framed by cartouches and a double cordon of eternity on a band of tangent semicircles. In the belly, also framed by a cartouche, a border displays a complex geometric pattern.
