Decoration
Four downturned triangles filled with chevrons hang from the rim and point toward the bottom of the vessel, without connecting to one another; one plant stem with short leaves on both sides raises from the bottom up to the rim. A few small dots between two traingles may be unintenitional drops, as is most likely a thicker line visible beneath one of the triangles: the paint was partly removed while still fresh, leaving a smudged area.
