 The glaze around the mouth and over the shoulder is lapis lazuli glaze, and the glaze from the shoulder to the base is iron glaze. This is a so-called “chanrini-shaped” Tokutoshi, small and extremely elegant, and was probably made between the Meireki and Kanbun periods, a little later than the early Edo period. This type of piece was made with lapis lazuli glaze, and other pieces of various sizes were also produced. The inside of the stand is covered with white glaze and there are some penetrations.
