Height 27.8 cm, mouth diameter 9.2 x lll.0 cm, left and right 16.5 cm, bottom diameter 13.7 cm, unidentified hermitage.
 The mouth has been distorted and interestingly changed during firing. The white part to the bottom of the body is covered with sesame glaze on one side and some parts have turned gray, while others have tightened to a dark brown. The bottom has a large spatula engraved seal, the back is decorated with a crest, and the front is filled with a hole for a kanzuke (a metal bowl with a hole in the middle). On the back of the lid of the box, Jyoshinsai inscribed “Hisen Hanabirazu, left, Futami,” (stamped with a flower seal).
