The fourteenth century was a prosperous period for the kilns in Seto. Many of the small jars produced there show a strong influence from Chinese ceramics. Carved, stamped, and combed patterns were used to decorate the surface of these Ko-Seto (Old Seto) jars. Iron glaze began to be used in this period, but its application was still uneven and transparent.
