 This is a six-tiered hagi-zukuri (six-tiered jointed construction) with a corded clay roll-up body. The unevenness of the joints is clearly visible. It is relatively thin and has a well-fired brownish-brown body covered with a yellowish-green natural glaze, which has fused with feldspar and turned cloudy. There is a geta mark on the underside of the bottom and marks of a firing stand on three sides.
