Decoration

A vertical plant design rises from the base to the rim of the vessel. To the right is a double W-zigzag just below the rim, leaving an empty area below. It is followed by two vertical series of triangles filled with parallel lines but without outline; the triangles of the left-hand series point toward the left, those of the right-hand series toward the right. To the right, two oblique series of rectangles, similar in design to the triangles, form a < shape. They are followed to the right by three successive oblique series of triangles, also displaying a similar fill and without outline. In each series, the triangles point alternatively in opposite directions.
