Did You Know?

This bottle with a narrow, long neck and a spherical body, which is missing its lid, was once used in ceremonial events to serve wine.

Description

Elites of the Goryeo period are known for their love of drinking tea and wine in various occasions, and commissioned a variety of serving wares such as this wine bottle. The shape of this bottle with a narrow, long neck and a spherical body is believed to have been first invented in 9th-century Chinese Yue kilns of Northern Zhejiang province.
An olive-green glazed ceramic vessel features a rounded body and a long, slender neck. Vertical ridges run down the neck, ending in pointed leaf-like shapes at the shoulder. A small loop handle sits at the rim. Delicate incised lines create wing-like patterns across the middle, and a fine crackle network covers the entire surface. Faint horizontal rings wrap around the lower half of the bulbous body.
