It is finished in a matte, reddish-brown salt glaze with two parallel horizontal bands incised around the shoulder. The top of the handle is impressed with the numeral 5, possibly indicating a five-gallon capacity. The lot includes a blown-glass plant watering bulb, or aqua globe, featuring a mottled pattern of red, white and light blue, as well as an assortment of decorative peacock and pheasant tail feathers.
