Cup-shaped bowl. The bowl's exterior is partially glazed and decorated with irregular black bands on top of a brown coat that varies in pigmentation intensity. The lower half of the bowl is glazed more consistently and the lower black bands have a drip-like quality to them and are also more uniform in size and spacing on the form. The upper half of the bowl contains unglazed black bands that are indented in most parts, creating a rough texture. The lip of the bowl is white and unglazed and the bowl's base is glazed and white. The bowl's interior is glazed irregularly and is primarily mustard, with areas of unglazed bone china showing through.
