Description: 
The Brush-washer has a steep wall curving upwards that eventually flares out to form a flat rim. The flat base is slightly recessed in the middle, and shows traces of a biscuit on which the brush-washer was fired. The unglazed area reveals the gray porcelain body. Otherwise the whole body is consistently glazed with a thin grayish-green glaze, and the outer walls show some vaguely colored marks.
