Description:   Class A II, according to Blegen. The pot is unusually tall for its length, and its upright lines contrast with the more horizontal lines of the average sauceboat.

The veryical handle is similar to that of Z317, but is not fashioned with such clear-cut lines; its attachment below is rectangular and metallic in origin. The spout is comparatively short and slender, with its lip sharply rolled. (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 80-81)
Decoration:   On the surface is an excellent polished slip of the same color, uniform over all without blotches and mottling. (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 81)
