<p>The long neck, curvilinear body, and ared mouth of this vessel create a typical Goryeo celadon bottle. A band of lotus petals inlaid with black and white slips is wrapped around the lower part of the neck, below which is a yeoui-head band inlaid with white slip. Three places around the belly of the bottle are decorated with lotus sprays inlaid with black and white slips. The glaze on the lower part of the body has been oxidized, where it is also extensively cracked. The foot is low, with a wide rim, and has sand spur marks.<br />

<p>This vessel conforms to a type of Goryeo celadon bottle that features a bulbous body, which has its center of gravisty at the lower part of the body, but its neck is rather stout when compared to the bottles produced in the 12th and 13th centuries. The shouler is decorated with a yeoui-head band, while chrysanthemum orets adorn the body in four places. The chrysanthemum designs were first stamped into the clay and inlaid with white slip; this stamping technique (inhwa) later developed into the style known as stamped buncheong ware. The base displays large cracks formed during ring. The glaze was unevenly fused, causing running and opaque melting in parts.<br />
