Height 7.8 cm, mouth diameter 6.5 cm, body diameter 7.8 cm, bottom diameter 6.2 cm.
 This was probably made into an incense burner. Or it may have been used to hold a burner. The mouth is slightly turned inward and rises up at the base, and the base is rounded. The mouth and half of the body are reddish, while the rest of the body is white and burnished. It is interesting to note that there is a pattern around the waist similar to that on Iga vessels. There is a kiln mark on the bottom.
