 This is a round-bodied jar with exactly the same height and body diameter. It is a small jar of the Tokoname type, but the mouth rim is not twisted back in an “N” shape, but rather is stepped and raised upward in a thicker, wider rim band. The shape of the mouth rim and the body of the jar may indicate that it is a unique Shigaraki jar that has broken away from the Tokoname style. There is a geta mark on the bottom.
