The wide open mouth is stepped, and large shell-like catch seats are placed on the four sides of the outer mouth. The upper part of the body is carved in the style of a mountain road, and the bottom half, which is stretched out at the base, has eight vertical stripes. The bottom is flat. Almost the entire surface of the exterior is covered with a grass-green ash-yuzu, leaving a portion of the reddish clay skin, and there is a slightly darker glaze pool on the mouth and part of the body, some of which is burnished. The inside of the lower part and the inner bottom are also glazed, and the yuzu that has accumulated on the inner bottom has formed a beautiful beadlo glaze. Two large cracks on the body of the vessel extend to the bottom, and the bottom has been repaired with lacquer. There are also small cracks on the mouth and other areas.
