A cream-colored earthenware vessel features a rectangular body with fluted corners and a sloped shoulder. Relief carvings of grape clusters and vines drape across the sides in festive garlands. A twisted rope-like pattern accents the shoulder, neck, and lid. The circular lid tapers to a leaf-decorated finial. A fine web of tiny cracks covers the glossy surface, while subtle stains mark the bottom edge.
