 This is probably similar in style to the “Seomi,” but has a more rustic, utensil-like appearance, and is probably a vessel generally referred to as an onioke. It is not clear whether it was made as a miscellaneous utensil or a water jar. The clay skin is reddish, soft and tight, with a thin sesame glaze on one side of the body. The bottom of the potter’s wheel has a “geta” sole, which looks like a wheel-thrown geta.
