Did You Know?

This lid was donated in 1998 for the bamboo-shaped wine pitcher (1928.179), but it turned out to be too big.

Description

Natural motifs inspired both the shape of celadon vessels as well as their inlaid designs in the Goryeo period. This wine ewer is shaped like a bamboo shoot, but it also resembles a lotus bud. Even though the spout was repaired, the ewer is a celadon masterpiece of the Goryeo period.
