 This is the only one of its kind with Sansai glaze on both body and lid. The base is yellowish white and not as good as the former. The shoulders are taut, but the body is slightly longer than the body of the former, and it is probably slightly older than the former. The glaze is of a common green glaze with a chidori (birds of a thousand birds) design. The coloring of the glaze on the lid is good, but the body is a little lighter.
