Sculpture of a semi-abstract duck formed from earthenware with low fire glaze and Luster's and china paint. The body of the duck is a smooth oblong with a short neck, head, and bill at one side. The lower surface is colored pink and yellow with mottled texture that is outlined in black. A semi-transparent black glaze appears overtop and gradually darkens from the bottom to a line halfway up the body. Above this line, a pink and white pattern appears below the yellow top of the duck's back formed with horizontal curved indentations similar to feathers. A pink and black oblong appears on top of the duck's back near the base of the neck. A patterned of hash marks and lighting bolt shapes in polychrome colors covers the neck and head and is muted by a semi-transparent black glaze that becomes solid over the bill.
