Intact but for some wear to the surface. Rough orange clay. Similar to the last but the mouth and neck were probably made separately, leaving a step at the junction with the shoulder. The handle is of roughly circular section. The wall is indented below the lower handle root through an error when the handle was applied. There is a step between stem and foot; the underside of the foot is flat. No paint is preserved.
