The rim is ground with rounded edges. The tubular neck tapers to the junction with the shoulders where there are faint dimpled decorations. The handle was dropped onto the shoulder and drawn up, out, and sideways to attach to the rim. The shoulders gently slope into a trapezoidal-shaped body. The base is concave with a pontil mark. The vessel is intact but leans in one direction, it also has trace encrustation and an old collection label to the base.Use
