　This pottery was found together with many other Sue vessels in a burial mound dating from the early 7th century and belongs to the lidless category. It is characterized by its large diameter in relation to the body diameter. The number of short-necked covered vases with small mouth-necked pieces has decreased considerably during this period. It is wheel-thrown and the bottom is rounded by shaving, but it is thinly made. The firing is very good, and part of the shoulder is covered with a dark green natural glaze.
