The jar features two small circular lugs, one on each side, positioned near the top. The body of the jar is primarily light blue with a cracked glaze effect, while a large area on the front is covered in a purple glaze. The base of the jar is brown. The jar sits on a white surface, casting a shadow to the left. The background behind the jar is plain white.
