• Description:
  Straight mouth, deep straight wall, three feet. The whole vessel is simple without decorative patterns and covered with green glaze. The soles of the three feet are unglazed, revealing light grey bodies. The outsole is rotated for a circle. This circle is brown without glaze. It was originally used as a cushion when firing the kiln. There is also a round piece in the vessel, which is brown and unglazed. It is estimated that it was originally a pad burn mark, which means that a smaller blank piece can be put into the vessel when the kiln is full.
