 This small wide-mouthed jar has a taut shape with the mouth tilted inward. The hips are slightly constricted. There is a single tibia on the shoulder and five on the hip, between which triangular clay cords are attached at intervals of 2.7 cm. A round sealed flower design is stamped on the upper edge between the stripes. The finish is very good, and the ash glaze is uniformly melted to a shiny yellowish-green tone. This wide-mouthed jar with a butt-jointed design was probably made in imitation of a Southern Song celadon wine cellar.
