A type of Sue ware in which various vessels were placed on a high cup-shaped base is called a “Komoji-taka cup. In this type of cup, the cup part is slightly shallower than the common type of stand. The border between the cup and the base has a one-stage projecting band, with five double chink lines and staggered watermarks between the lower three levels. The top of the cup has a lid decorated with a rather small vase in the center, surrounded by four special cups, one with a lid decorated with a small vase and the other with a lid in the shape of an inverted high cup. The small cup with a small jar decoration and a special cup with a lid in the form of a reversed high cup are surrounded by four special cups.
