The unique shape of this bottle is attained by battering the surface while the clay is still wet, resulting in a form in which the horizontal length is longer than the vertical length.

The effect is one of comforting stability with the traces of the mallet remaining on the surface adding to the strength and vitality of the piece.

The entire surface is covered with a minute rope-curtain pattern stamped in white slip. The inside of the mouth has a band of inlaid arabesques and both the flat sides have a stamped chrysanthemum blossom surrounded by triple lines.

The transparent, pale-blue glaze successfully enlivens the ornament.
The bottle has no base but was fired by attaching sand spurs to one side.
