The lip is uneven and feels as if it was lifted by it before the clay was hard. Double handle, parting at the junction with the lip. The foot is offset from the lower wall; its underside is slightly concave and is decorated with a broad circle. There is a wash inside the vase.
On the body is a woman seated, left, on an Ionic capital and looking back right towards a seated Eros. The woman holds a box in her right hand and a bunch of grapes in her left. The Eros is seated on drapery and holds a phiale in his right hand. There is a palmette design about the handle.
At the top of the wall, egg and dot; on the lower wall, wave pattern. The lip has a tongue pattern on both the upper and the lower face.
