 This pottery is thought to have been made in the latter half of the 9th century, judging from the shape of the wide-open neck of the mouth and the square cross section of the base, which is no longer stretched at the base. The joint between the body and the mouth and neck is in a two-tiered configuration. It is made of high quality grayish-white clay, and is thin and fine. The firing is very good.
