 This is an early three-striped jar with a large neck in relation to the body. The neck of the mouth is slightly outwardly bowed, and the rim of the mouth is folded at a right angle to form a rim band. The shoulders are strong, and the three chinker lines are spaced at large intervals, another characteristic of the old style. The clay is coarse and slightly iron-enriched, with good firing results and a dark green natural glaze on the shoulders.
