 The oral part has been attached to a different one, but there is nothing stylistically wrong with the vase. The body has the form of an old-style plum vase, with the shoulders taut and tapering toward the bottom. The body is wheel-thrown with a comb-shaped design on the top and bottom, a chinkisen line on the lower half of the body, and a sword-tip design on the upper edge of the shoulder. The main motif is a chrysanthemum design in five steps, each 3.9 cm in diameter, and there are a total of fifty-three motifs. The ash glaze is evenly applied over the entire surface, giving it a slightly reddish green color, and the coloring is not very good.
