 This small jar with a double-layered mouth is made of relatively fine-grained clay. It is made of clay with a relatively fine texture, and has been shaped by cutting and carving. On the shoulder is a nohmen design with a thin spatula-patterned rice mark. The surface is brownish brown with a slightly cloudy yellowish green color, and a dark brown natural glaze flows down from the shoulder, giving the piece a dynamic impression.
