Height 10.4 cm, mouth diameter 21.2 cm, base diameter 8.6 cm
 The base is made of a milky white hand-formed clay with a red rim, but it is slightly under-fired and the surface is soft. The outer surface is decorated with a lotus flower design and a flying cloud design, with windows on three prospective sides, each depicting a pine, bamboo, and plum tree. The mouth rim is decorated with arrow feathers, and a white octopus arabesque design is shown within the circular window. This is another rare example, and based on its style, it is estimated to date from the Kanbun to Enpo periods.
