A glazed and lustered earthenware vase, with a short upright neck and a rounded, bulbous body. Two curved handles flank the neck, joining the vase just below the lip and at the curve of the shoulder. The lip and handles are an iridescent orangey-bronze color, shading into the iridescent copper-green color on the rest of the vase. The decorations are mostly an iridescent silvery color. The neck is decorated with a central orange floral motif, framed by leaves. The body is adorned with a large lion rampant on a background of curling vines, framed by a straight vine border. The shaggy lion faces left and rears up on its hind legs, front legs extended, tail streaming behind. A large dark spot mars the lion's neck.
