Heavy cylindrical vase that tapers inward and then flares out towards the base. The vase has a white glaze and irregular raised, horizontal lines that continue down the form. The body is decorated with light blue and black splotches around the form that are tinged green, appearing almost like scorch marks on the vase. The vase's lip flares up and out slightly and the upper part of the vase's interior is glazed light blue. The rest of the vase's interior is unglazed.
