The inner surface is decorated with a single circuferential grove 1mm wide, and 2mm below the rim.The fragment represents about 6% of the rim, so the vessel opening / external edge of the vessel can only be estimated to be 8cm in radius (16cm diameter).The vessel wall is 1.6mm thick. The fragment is 31.7mm long by 24.0mm tall. It weighs 4.8 grams.
