Comments
The flower pot is in the shape of a conical cylinder. The rim is beaded at the top and has a meandering or scalloped bead below that recalls coggle-wheel decoration. A flat-bottomed saucer is applied to the bottom of the pot. A small drain hole on one side allows water in the pot to drain into the saucer. The pot is glazed on the outside surface only. The glaze has some pale brown streaks around the upper half of the pot.
