 This jar has a body shape similar to that of an arithmetic bowl with overhanging shoulders, and the apex of the slightly outwardly upright neck has been folded back to form a nearly triangular mouth rim. The clay is coarse and sandy, with a blackish tint on the surface and a yellowish-white natural glaze on the shoulder. Two chrysanthemum seal floral designs are stamped on the shoulder.
