Decoration

Four downturned, crosshatched triangles are painted below the rim. The spaces between the triangles are filled with tripple parallel vertical lines that reach down to a double concentric line painted around the bottom of the vessel. Inside these circles, four chevron-designs point toward the centre, leaving a small empty area.
