Height 6.3 cm, mouth diameter 7.9 cm, base diameter 3.7 cm
 Probably made for a boar’s mouth. The workmanship is very tasteful, so it is now used as a tea bowl for a tea box. It is a tea bowl with a rounded shape, the base is carved low, and the inside is shallowly carved.
The body has round patterns on two sides and is thickly glazed inside and out, but the glazed surface is unusually soft and the thickly glazed areas are unevenly white, as if it had been somewhat undercooked. The finger marks left on one side of the glazed surface add a touch of elegance.
