　This jar has a slightly outward-turned apex on the upright neck of the mouth and an oval body with sloping shoulders. The shoulder is decorated with two sunken lines and four lateral ears just below the sunken lines. The body is made of fine-grained clay mixed with rice field soil, which is well tempered to give it a smooth brownish-brown color. A thick, candy-colored natural glaze is applied to a part of the shoulder and flows down to the upper half of the body.
