Height 9.0 cm, mouth diameter 2.3 cm, bottom diameter 4.7 cm
 This chunky, stroked-shoulder, butt-backed vessel has large ears attached to the left and right shoulders. It was probably made as a tea container, but is now used as a furisode. A green glaze is applied from the mouth to both sides of the body. One side of the body is decorated with a design of Sawasaburo and the other side with a design of Amiboshi, a small but elegant iron painting. Two or three lines are carved from the shoulder to the body, and the body is distorted to give it a haughty appearance. The bottom of the bowl has an ito (thread) bottom to show the clay.
