Bottle
Korean
Description
Physical Description:
A glazed whie and speckled porcelain bottle. The body is round and shperical, with a narrow concave neck and lipped opening.
These are modern pieces thrown on a semi-manual wheel. Their shoulders are decorated with simple designs in underglaze cobalt blue, which is a result of Japanese influence. The use of clay with a high kaolin content has given the bottles thin walls and a strong sheen. Their shoulders are contaminated with impurities. Objects of this this type were produced in Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
