This is a rare 𤭯 with a high pedestal foot with a two-tiered openwork. It was probably made for funerary use in imitation of a long-necked vase with a base. Judging from the shape of the mouth and neck, the pattern on the body, and the shape of the pedestal, it is thought to have been made around the end of the 6th century. The firing rate is not very high. It is gray in color and somewhat tile-like in appearance.
