A yellow faience vessel with an unevenly lobed rim sits on three rounded feet. Two internal walls partition the bowl into three compartments. A horizontal branch with small green leaves and blue flowers wraps across the front exterior, its delicate pattern contrasting with the bright yellow glaze. The vessel's organic, undulating form is accentuated by light catching the rim and interior. Similar floral details are visible on the far left side.
