 This vase is of the same type as the ash-glazed wide-mouthed vase described above, and has a rather general shape. The oral part is slightly turned inward and the edge of the mouth rim is thickened to form a round mouth. The shoulders are well-developed and the waist is well constricted, which is a new trend. The legs of the stand are broadly spread out, and a single step is also a new technique. The center of the mouth and the shoulder are decorated with three stripes. The ash axis is applied evenly over the entire surface of the bowl, producing a brilliant light green color.
