 Like the previous example, this is a small soup pouring vessel, but this one is made with a hem overhang, with a one-sided spout and small legs on three sides of the bottom. One side of the body is roughly decorated with a design of a glowing arabesque in gouzu and iron pigments on a white ground, then glazed with a transparent glaze and fired. This type of soup pouring vessel is relatively common, and it is said that Qianzan was fond of making them.
