The flower pot is in the shape of a conical cylinder with a thick banded rim at the top. The rim band has a gently curved hollow on the outside surface. The bottom of the pot has an applied, flat-bottomed saucer. A drain hole on one side allows water in the pot to drain into the saucer. The pot is glazed on the outside surface only.
