This globular mélard with pinched spout, an intermediary size between the large mélard and the oil jug, was meant to be suspended. Its base is rounded for this purpose, to ensure the attachment of a rope without sharp angles. The rope passing under the bottom was held from bottom to top against the pottery's belly by another transverse rope passing under the specially flared neck. The whole was suspended from a beam resembling a joist. This mélard is covered with a green glaze and a lead cover, two finishes intended to provide it with brilliance and waterproofing. Its decoration consists of finger-molded bands. The facade is adorned with a cross motif placed under the pinched spout. This reduced spout allowed for a faster, smoother flow.
