Height 22.7 cm, mouth diameter 11.7 cm, body diameter 19.4 cm, bottom diameter 12.4 cm
 The border between the jade rim and the neck has been smoothed, and the oral tip has been thickened, a new trend that could be called a degenerative phenomenon of the jade rim. The top and bottom of the waves on the comb-rim have been polished off and formalized in accordance with this trend. The dark green natural glaze on the brownish-brown body is also characteristic of this period. This is a typical example of such a small jar, which probably dates to the end of the 15th century. The lower half of the body is marked with ten large kiln marks.
