The bell-shaped body with flaring neck, a relief band where the bottom of the spurred handles meets the lower bowl, set on a low convex stem with a torus foot. The whole in black glaze apart from a narrow red-washed band round the foot. Bands of black and red wash beneath the foot. Some chips to the rim and foot and wear to the spurs. Some encrustation especially to the interior.
