Height 28.4 cm, mouth diameter 7.9 cm, bottom diameter 13.5 cm
 This vessel has a unique shape with a triangular mouth, a narrowed neck, and a gently bulging body, with hanging ears on both sides of the neck. The body has hanging ears on either side of the neck. This is probably a Bizen style of work, which can also be seen on water jars. The spatula-engraved design on the body is probably similar to that on Ibe-te water jars. The glaze is sesame seed glazed from the shoulder to the hem, and the clay skin from the mouth to the neck is reddish brown and tightened. The front and back of the neck have holes for attaching a vessel. A kiln mark is placed horizontally below the hole.
