Height 23.7 cm, mouth diameter 3.2 cm, body diameter 12.8 cm, bottom diameter 7.0 cm
 This flower vase has a rounded body and a citrus-shaped mouth, and is probably based on an old copper citrus-shaped vase. The style is similar to those of tea vases inscribed “Suoi” and “Sekiji,” and it is assumed to have been made during the Momoyama period (1568-1600). The body is covered with a thick sesame glaze from the neck to the body, and the back is blackish brown. It may be an early Ibe hand. The flat bottom has a kiln mark carved in spatula.
