Oval stamp mark is slightly worn making it difficult to read. 4-character stamp mark appears to read "This work made by YíYòng" (Běnzuò Yíyòng). Workmanship of piece indicates it was produced for use as opposed to display. The pottery appears to be made of a mixed metal. Side of vessel is decorated with Zhou Dynasty era style Bronze Script. Each character is lined with small circular stamps creating a scale like pattern. The border pattern on the top and bottom of the vessel follow the same stamped pattern.
