 This is a type of plum vase with a double-layered mouth. It is made of high-quality, near-white clay, water-ground, and has a slightly slender shape.
 The body is decorated with a comb-shaped wavy pattern in the center of the body, and a grass pattern is painted on the head with an eye at intervals. The upper edge of the shoulders is decorated with a similar design on three sides, but on a slightly smaller scale. There is an inscription of a rice seal painted on the shoulder. The ash glaze is slightly uneven in the lower half, but it is a beautiful light green color with a beautiful axial tone.
