　This is one of the best examples of a Tokoname sanjiki jar used as a warehouse vessel. It is of a degenerate form, with a thin mouth and neck, a slender body shape that has lost its shoulder tension, and two sunken lines on the body that have been omitted. The walls of the bowl are thick in spite of its slenderness. The mountain tea bowl used as a lid is from Tokoname, but it is a deep bowl with no bulge and a degenerated base, indicating a style from the end of the Kamakura period to the Nanbokucho period. It is a good material for understanding the terminal form of Sanjiki-jar.
