Along the interior rim, there is a sloppily-painted blue trellis decoration. The central motif is decorated with a finely drawn bamboo and landscape design. The base has a very small rounded wedge footring that is slightly yellowed. The saucer consists of eight sherds that mend but are not mended/glued.
