This four-lobed jar with an upright neck and jade rim is considered to be similar to Bizen ware, but the wheel-thrown folds that appear on the surface are similar to those on the jar with the fish design mentioned above. The clay used for the base is also similar. The dark brown natural glaze on the shoulder has no luster, and a thin layer of cloudy white underglaze glaze is also similar to that of the jar with the fish design. There is a geta mark on the bottom and six eye marks on the periphery. Where were jars with this series of characteristics fired?
