Height 17.3 cm, mouth diameter 17.5 cm, bottom diameter 18.1 cm
 This water jar has almost the same shape as the previous two works, but the body is decorated with a tortoiseshell design, tree design, ring-shaped design, and cypress fence design, all of which are unusual for a water jar. The glaze is well melted and smooth, but lacks a slightly reddish tinge. Three large eye marks are faintly visible on the bottom, and a rounded mark can also be seen on the bottom of the prospective vessel, suggesting that it was fired with other vessels nestled inside.
