 The slightly outward opening of the neck is thickened at the apex of the mouth, and the neck is chamfered with a concave surface. Judging from the shape of the body and the mouth rim, it is thought to have been made in the late 16th century. The brownish-brown base is well finished, and the natural glaze is thickened on the neck and half of the body, resulting in a cloudy and varied appearance.
