The dish is a flat, open and almost bowl-like shape. The dish's exterior is beige stoneware decorated with dark brown flecks that decrease in number at the top of the base. There are some faint impressed lines along the dish's body. The interior is a light brown with dark brown flecks. The impressed lines on the form are also visible in the interior. As the interior moves toward the center of the bowl, the dark flecks begin to create lines that circle the interior form.
