Height 37.6 cm, mouth diameter 14.0 cm, body diameter 38.3 cm, bottom diameter 17.3 cm
 This is probably a four-eared jar, but the body is strongly stretched and the base is narrow. It has four large ears toward the mouth and is covered with a sesame glaze that flows from the shoulder to the body, and the clay skin is dark brown and hardened. The clay skin is dark brown and tightly packed. The marks around the mouth suggest that this jar was placed on top of another jar during firing, and there are also marks around the base indicating that this jar was placed on top of another jar during firing. This is a very bold piece for a tea jar of this type.
