Everted rim; narrow, cylindrical neck; sloping shoulder; ovoid body; rounded bottom. White and turqoise threads start just below rim over shoulder; white and turquoise threads form a feather pattern on the body to end in spiral pattern on the bottom of the vessel. No residue; part of rim and possibly two handles are missing; decoloration on one side of the body; seems restored (glued) at several places of the body. It is considered possible that the handle was part of this vessel. Both vessel and handle are part of the Cesnola collection.
