This grayish-blue stoneware jar has a globular body and short, flared neck. The entire surface of the body is adorned with wave pattern and encircled with many thin incised lines. The base is flat.<br /> <br /> This is a dark gray, long-necked, high-fired stoneware jar with a wide mouth. Its neck is widely flared, while an olive brown natural glaze has formed on the inner surface of the neck and on the shoulder. Shallow incised horizontal lines encircle the outer surface of the neck. The neck shows traces of rotation and water smoothing. The body is widest at its upper-middle part, and a series of incised horizontal lines surrounds the body in three places in its upper part. The areas in between these lines are decorated with wave designs created by combs with many teeth. The vessel originally featured a paddled pattern consisting of diagonally parallel lines along the upper-middle part of the body, and a diagonal crosshatch paddled pattern right below. However, these designs were erased by subsequent rotat

This grayish-blue stoneware jar has a globular body and short, a little flared neck. The entire surface of the body is adorned with vertical line and encircled with thin incised lines. The base is flat.<br /> <br /> This is a gray, bottle-shaped, high-fired vessel. It is covered entirely with parallel diagonal striations, and these have been erased in some parts by rubbing the surface from right to left. The neck, connected to the top of the body where it suddenly grows much narrower, flares widely toward the rim, which has a grooved edge. The body is widest at its middle, around which two thin horizontal lines are incised. The lower part of the outer surface has been pared during rotation. The base of the vessel is flat and has a recessed center. <p>[Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2017) p. 75]</p> <br /> <br /> &nbsp;

This reddish brown earthenware jar has a globular body and long, widely flared neck. The below surface of the body is adorned with beaten parallel line.<br /> <br /> This is a gray-brown, long-necked, high-fired stoneware jar with a round bottom. Its neck extends up in a straight line before flaring out suddenly near the rim, the edge of which is slightly concave. The body is globular and widest at its middle. Below this part of the vessel are decorations consisting of vertical paddled patterns that are parallel or superimposed. It is likely that the paddled pattern was also applied to the upper and middle parts of the vessel body, but was later erased during the rotation and water smoothing process. The inner surface of the body shows traces of rotation and water smoothing, along with fingerprint marks made in a vertical direction.<br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2017) p. 46]<br /> &nbsp;
