 This gourd-shaped tokutari, with a tightened body, rounded top, and taut bottom, is also covered with iron glaze from the mouth to the bottom of the body, and then covered with a thick layer of blue overglaze paint to show a chrysanthemum arabesque design, over which gold is added. It was probably made around the same time.
