Where the walls break, a sharp protrusion is left on the outer side the diameter of the upper part is smaller than the lower. The vertical vise is strongly extended upwards, attached to a protrusion on the body and to the spout, with a crossbar above the spout's edge. On the outer side, it has a ribbon shape, then from the top widens inward with an undercut above the spout. The undercut part is decorated with engraved vertical lines. Engraved lines are also found on the bottom arranged in a grid and under the base of the vise in the shape of the letter X. The upper surface of the edge on the body is decorated with diagonal engravings, the lower part of the vertical walls with recessed dots. Both rows are separated by a horizontal engraved line.
