　This is an early Ibe-te vase, and the shape is clearly a copy of the Taduki handles seen on Kinuta celadon and other types of celadon wares. In Bizen, many vases copied from Chinese ceramics were produced in this manner. Although these vases are considered to have been made in the late Momoyama period, they seem to have been produced surprisingly early, probably from the end of the Muromachi period (1333-1573). The body is also lightly coated with ash glaze, and the entire surface, except for the inside of the base, is covered with lacquered clay. There are also some thicker and less ancient types of Arithmetic flower vases, which were probably fired from the end of the Muromachi period through the Momoyama period and into the early Edo period (1603-1868). This one has a kiln mark carved in spatula within the elevation.
