The vessel has a wide base and a wide opening.
The inside is painted with iron arabesque patterns in bold brushstrokes, and the brown iron pigment that appears here and there resembles red berries.
The celadon glaze applied on top has a moist texture.
The thick base has three large stone marks, and the glaze extends all the way to the base.
The outside is covered with an iron glaze similar to that of a Tenmoku tea bowl, and the dripping glaze creates a fur-like pattern.
It is common to see celadon glaze applied over iron pigment, but it is extremely rare to see celadon and iron glaze applied separately.
