It has a flat base, concave underneath, spherical body, large high neck with flaring rim, and one vertical handle (there may have been two originally; the side of the base is proken away at the decisive point), which rises almost straight from low down on the body and then bends sharply in to the rim. The biscuit is grayish black right through and the surface has the same color; it is not smoothly finished. In the middle of one side is a large dent, which seems to have been made before or diring the firing of the pot.
