Rounded and bulging, slightly flattened, the oral portion is small. The handle is missing. The spout is decorated with what might be called a chrysanthemum seat with radial sunken lines. This type of oil spout with chrysanthemum decoration is often seen in the early Muromachi period (1333-1573).
The body is decorated with a thick round carved design of peony petals. The gray sleeves are a pale yellowish green color and are evenly applied over the entire surface, giving it a beautiful luster.
