 This is a typical piece from the Sanage kiln. The ash glaze has almost completely exfoliated, exposing the rough grayish-white surface of the vessel. The shoulder spout has a small, degenerated rim, and the spatula used to join it to the body is blunt and rounded. However, the tension of the base is still strong and has not deviated from that of metalware.
