One handle, over half of rim, and parts of wall restored.

Scraped groove in resting surface; concave underside with nipple.

Graceful, concave stem. Ribbed lower body. Tall upper body. Rising, flaring spurs. Spiral waves running right, with two pairs of antithetical dolphins leaping above. Area under spirals of waves filled in with white. Shiny black glaze with metallic patches.

Dolphins similar to those of Ptolemy Group (cf. 314 and 333) but probably not by same hand. Cf. also the decoration of 171.
