Height 6.9 cm, mouth diameter 7.8 cm, bottom diameter 5.4 cm
 This spittoon has a wide, curved mouth in the shape of a ring flower, and is decorated with a turnip design in underglaze blue. It is small for a spittoon, but it may have been modeled after the shape of spittoon for chewing tobacco found in export items from Imari and other regions. This is an unusual piece.
