15th century
Height 15.1 cm, mouth diameter 7.1 cm, body diameter 12.5 cm, bottom diameter 8.9-9.7 cm
A large number of small vases with this type of one-sided mouth have been found in Iga, and some of them have a rope pattern on the shoulder. The mouth neck is generally trumpet-shaped and outwardly bowed, and part of it is bent to form a one-sided mouth with a groove on the interior surface. The slightly shouldered, large-bottomed, vertical body has a distinctive style. The clay used was rich in feldspar, and the firing was good, with the feldspar melting well and blowing out like white dots all over the surface of the vessel. The dark skin has a warm and relaxing atmosphere with fire color in some places. There is a concave geta mark on the underside. A ten-kiln mark is engraved on the shoulder with a corresponding ten-kiln mark on both sides.
