 Although it is not clear whether this vessel was used as a water vessel or a hot-water container, it is highly regarded as one of the finest of its kind. It is a large and sturdy water spout with a broad base. The large ring-shaped base is carved in a straightforward manner, and the twisted handles and spout are very carelessly made.
 The rounded lid, with a string attached to the center of the spout, is decorated with a design in green glaze and iron painting.
