The globular, lidded teapot has a short, straight spout and two loops attached to the shoulder to which a rattan handle is attached. The tea pot has a thick pebbled or mottled grayish-brown glaze on the outside that stops about an inch from the bottom. The inside has a similar glaze that is thinner and smooth.
