 This water vase has the same mouth design as Figure 106, but the body has a bulge and shows a slightly new trend. It has a yellowish-white color with a zanguri-shikki clay taste, and the shoulder and body are decorated with lines. The iron glaze is applied over the entire surface, leaving a portion of the bottom, but it is a rather thin layer of brown oil, and the glaze draft is noticeable on the shoulder area and the coloring is not so good.
