A pearlware jug with a brown slip ground over the body and neck, which has been further decorated with slip (?) flowers etc. There is a band of turned ribs on the shoulder below the neck which has been coloured green with copper oxide below the clear pearlware glaze. The spout is plain moulded. The strap handle has acanthus leaf moulded upper and lower terminals. No foot. Shallow turned recessed base.
