 This is another early Ibe-te sui-jirushi. It is of a unique shape, with a shallowly raised mouth, strongly tapered shoulders, and a low carved base. The shoulders are strongly impinged, and the base is lowered. A thin layer of sesame glaze is applied from the mouth to the shoulder, and sesame glaze is also applied on the half surface of the body, and a part of the body is covered in sesame glaze. The mouth of the bowl is decorated with a piece of pottery with a human excrement on it. It is probably one of the most famous Ibe-te water jars from ancient times.
