Narrow-necked jar/bottle with a pentagonal body, bulging neck, rounded rim, 1 strap handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a body with five rounded corners. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1931."
