 In the Muromachi period (1333-1573), advances in wheel-thrown pottery techniques made it possible to grind large, thin wares, which led to the production of vases with wide-open orifices. This vase also follows the form of the previous generation, but the mouth of the vase is open in the shape of a large trumpet. The yellowish-white color of the base is a little rough, but the ash glaze has melted well to produce a smooth yellowish-green glaze tone.
