Iga vases often have unexpected shapes. This work is one of the most interesting examples of this style, and can only be attributed to the Keicho period, which favored jestful artifice. The top and bottom are stroked in four directions, and the center is tightened one step more clearly, and the edge of the mouth is curved with a ball edge. The triangular ears on the left and right sides of the body, which define the interest of this vase, but the overall shape of the vase is well put together. One side is covered with a thick layer of burnt beadlo glaze, while the other has a reddish-hardened skin with two streaks of grass-green glaze running down from the shoulder and a single streak of iron yuzu (iron citron). The flat bottom has cracks in the kiln. There are traces of sticking around it. It was handed down in the Konoike family, and is inscribed “Sei” on the front of the lid of the box. The humor of the tea master who named this odd shape “Sei” is also interesting.
