This small jar is rare in the Echizen region in that it has a double-lobed mouth rim and a shoulder that bends down to the body. The clay is rather coarse and the firing is not very tight.
The iron glaze applied from the mouth rim to the lower half of the body is also rare among Echizen small vases. It has a Shigaraki-like appearance.
