A Ko-seto ware of Mei-ping style with a long neck, handle, and short spout. In the Seto district, many Chinese-style pottery have been produced in the Sanage pottery since the 13th Century, using the traditional technique of ash glazing. Among the ceramics were ewers, pitchers, Mei-ping ware for sake drinking, vases, and incense burners.
Many ash-glazed or brown-glazed pitchers and ewers with large bottom, modeled after Chinese pottery, were made in the 13th and 14th Centuries, but this Mei-ping style pitcher is different from the others. Some lines are on the surface of the body and the excellent color of dead leaves is glazed. Not many examples of this kind of ware are preserved. Additionally, some part of the glaze has come off on the surface.
