This is a rare example of a complete large jar. It is made of high-quality yellowish-white clay, and is molded by rolling up clay strings. The outer surface is beaten by latticework, and the inner surface is beaten by blue sea waves to tighten the walls. The bottom is slightly pointed and rounded, and the long body is topped by a 3.5 cm long neck with a 3.5 cm long outer neck, harmonizing well with the rest of the vessel. It is well fired and has a yellowish green natural glaze on the shoulder.
