 This Buddhist vase has a small, flat body with a thick, trumpet-shaped opening at the mouth. It is made of water-glazed vase body and is divided into three parts. The lower half of the neck is decorated with peony motifs in three places using the round carving technique. This is the final stage of the painted floral motif. The ash glaze is well melted and evenly applied over the entire surface, giving it a slightly oxidized yellowish green color.
