Ventilated lid with five teardrop cutouts; ventilation cutouts in base as well. Hand-painted gold accent linework and stylized design on one side. Measures approximately 3.5 inches tall without lid and about 3.5 inches in diameter at the rim. Round, lidded shape with central vent at base for proper burning and air flow.
