Height 9.8 cm, mouth diameter 9.1 x 11.3 cm, base diameter 6.2 cm
 This is a rather large mukozuke with a fan-shaped mouth, a tightened body, and a broad base, but it was also used as a hibiya. The potter’s wheel was thrown deeply from the base to the mouth, and the entire surface except for the base was covered with green glaze. Although the design is simple, it is highly effective. It was a favorite of Hara Sankei, an eccentric potter of the Meiji and Taisho eras.
