Height 35.0 cm, mouth diameter 13.2 cm, body diameter 32.4 cm, bottom diameter 14.0 cm.
 The mouth rim is thickened at the tip of the neck, which is opposite the outer rim, in the style of a jade-rimmed bowl.
 Based on the large diameter of the body, it is thought to have been made around the beginning of the 15th century. The clay is a fine-grained clay containing quartz and feldspar particles, rolled up and molded, and the surface of the vessel has a smooth surface due to the cutting process.
