 The mouth neck is slightly narrow and upright, and the tip is twisted back outward to form a rounded green band, which is also a new form in the long jar series. This is a new form in the long jar series. It is made of rolled-up corded clay, but many of the pieces from this period are made in an orderly ovoid shape. The brownish-brown surface of the vessel is covered with a bright green glaze, which flows like a waterfall down the lower half of the body, another characteristic of the first half of the 16th century.
