 This tea caddy has a long, slender, upraised shoulder with a low-rising mouth. It is glazed with a white glaze from around the mouth to the hem of the body, and the hem of the body is glazed with a cloudy white glaze.
 This slightly taller tea caddy was favored by Ninsei, but it may also have been a favorite of Munekazu. The inscription on the front of the lid of the box, “Eomurocha ‘iru'” is said to be by Munekazu.
