Pale buff earthenware, thrown, tin-glazed and painted in blue and pale brownish-yellow lustre. Part of the cylindrical neck of a jar, with everted rim, probably a pharmacy jar. The exterior is decorated with a horizontal blue band above which are alternately blue and pale brownish-yellow lustre leaves linked by lustre stems which extend upwards between the leaves and meet a wavy line with small splodges. Below the blue band there are lustre spots.
