Vase of partially-glazed red stoneware with round foot and short stem, the body bulbous that narrows at the neck and has a flared rim (it perhaps once had a cover), the main body covered with layers of irregular, drippy beige glaze, the stem decorated with small, round, applied dots of red clay, on either side the body of a chicken emerges from the vase - the neck and head and part of the feathered wings, both in unglazed red stoneware.
