The tea bowl, which is conical in shape, has rounded, slightly flaring sides. It is covered with a dark brown glaze and further decorated with a loose abstract design of splashes and swirled ivory semi-translucent slip. The small foot ring is wedge-shaped and is unglazed as is the countersunk base. There are no inscriptions or marks on the bowl.
