 This cylindrical vessel with high legs was probably made as an incense burner. The body is simply decorated with a design of two lilies and a willow tree on one side and a serrated pattern on the base of the legs, which probably represents lotus petals. This is a unique piece, and is thought to have been fired at the Asoya kiln.
