 This water spout has a small, low spout with a small orifice and a short spout with a protruding band on the shoulder. It has a flat bottom and a large base. The clay is gray and rough, and the clay rolled up form is not well adjusted. The ash glaze is dark green with a single ash color, and the entire surface is heavily stippled. This is probably a variant of an early Kosedo water pouring vessel. The entire surface shows cracks due to strong firing.
