Ewer
A footed ewer with a globular body, tall flared neck and strap handle, its surface banded in green, amber-brown and cream lead glazes that pool and run downward. The bands wrap the body evenly, while the splashed glaze on the foot and mouth shows the firing.
Look closer: Small drips of green and cream glaze run down the lower body near the base.
