The vessel is in overall very good condition. One half of the vessel is mottled with black specks and is of grey colour, the other side a greyish-celadon tone. There is a ca. 0.7 cm scratch on the edge of the dome on one of the posts set on the rim. There are tiny fritts along the rim and edges of the feet. There is some dark red glue stuck under the feet.
