Mug with a rounded cylindrical form that flares out at two points and tapers towards the base. The mug's exterior is speckled dark brown stoneware. Two areas near the handle appear almost smeared, like they were disturbed before the glaze was dry. The exterior of the mug has thin horizontal, imprinted lines uniformly circling the form. The mug has a rougher texture nearer to the lip and there are visible air bubbles on the body. The lip and interior are off-white toneware with dark-brown specks.
