This large white porcelain moon jar is not perfectly round in shape, as its body is slightly wider in the middle compared to its height. The diameter of the foot is about 80% of the diameter of the mouth, but the overall form is well-balanced and stable. The height of the mouth and foot are also proportionate to each other. There is no visible trace of the seam in the middle where the upper and lower parts were joined, and there is hardly any warping or distortion in the overall form. A clear, transparent glaze with just a slight tint of yellowish brown is applied in a very thin layer, which is tightly fused to the clay body. This white porcelain moon jar is preserved in good condition, showing slight signs of minor repairs to the mouth.
