A cream-colored ceramic basket vessel features a thick handle tied in a central knot over its circular opening. A network of fine crackle lines covers the glazed surface. Red, green, and gold floral motifs decorate the handle. A row of vertical slits circles the upper rim, framed by geometric orange and blue diamond patterns that repeat on the lower body. The handle ends splay into flat, petal-like shapes where they meet the rim.
