 This is an o-haguro jar of the same shape as the former, but the curve from the shoulder to the body is a beautiful arc, giving it the shape of a tokuri (Japanese sake bottle) itself. The base is well fired and reddish in color, and the entire surface from the mouth rim is covered with a thick brown natural glaze with a remarkable luster. There is a mark on the shoulder.
