Jug with flat sides and angular corners. From the base it swells before curving inwards and then broadening again at the top, where a slightly curving lip is produced. The handle is rectangular in section and attached to the jug just below the very short neck. Decoration is in the form of dark grey matt irregular shaped striped markings (vertical on one side and horizontal on the other, continuing around the sides) and a light grey background, on both the body and the handle of the jug.
