The jar has a lipped edge, round belly with a melon ridge design, and a fairly broad round foot curving slightly outward. The body is white, compact, and robust, and has a finish of white glaze that is firmly attached to the ware, except at the round foot and the lowest part of the belly just above the foot, where the body is visible. The walls of the jar are somewhat thicker than usual. The jar's distinctive design and excellent craftsmanship make it a top-grade specimen of Northern Song Cizhou ware.
