This pottery is thought to have been made in the 13th century, judging from the slender neck and the straight shape of the body, which tapers toward the bottom. The clay is gray and rich in sand, and the clay is rolled up and molded. The surface of the vessel is shaped by cutting me vertically.
The shoulder engraving consists of three parallel sunken lines with slightly curved arcs alternating in different directions. The engravings are thought to be of a retrogressive style. The firing was not sufficient, and the natural glaze on the shoulder was not fully melted, resulting in a white sesame sprinkling.
