 This small jar has a short, upright neck with a double-lobed opening at the end. It is made of fine-grained high-quality clay, and although thick-walled, it is wheel-thrown and has a neat shape. The firing is extremely solid, and the vessel has a smooth surface. The half surface of the body from the mouth rim to the body is covered with a dark green natural glaze, creating a scenic view. This is one of the finest Iga small vases. Although it is now used as a flower vase with a hanging handle, it was probably originally a storage vessel as one of the miscellaneous vessels.
