 This cylindrical vase, with a tightly constricted center of the body, has two tubular handles. Its use is not entirely clear. The bottom of the vessel has a strong base with a slightly raised back with a thread cutout, which suggests that it is an attached base. The base is yellowish-white in color and is water-glazed. The ash glaze was not fully molten due to a low heat level, resulting in a grayish, curled glaze.
