A bucket-shaped lacquer vessel with a dark brown exterior opens to a gold interior and features a thin, arched metal handle as a short spout projects from the upper rim. Along the lower body, a wavy border is densely inlaid with iridescent nacre fragments, forming a shimmering mosaic of green, blue, and pink.
