14th century
Height 31.0cm, Body diameter 31.7-32.6cm, Bottom diameter 17.5cm
 Molded in a four-tiered hagi (hagi making) technique with a rolled-up clay body. The clay is iron-rich clay containing many fine grains of feldspar, and is well tempered, giving it a brownish-brown color. The numerous cracks on the surface of the vessel are rather Shigaraki-like. The natural glaze on the surface of the vessel, which is partly light green in color, is mostly yellowish-white and weathered, indicating that it has been fused with the feldspar base. There is a rope pattern and human kiln mark on the shoulder and a geta mark on the underside.
