![<p>The beginning of the 14th century saw a change in inlaid patterns from using both black and white clay to only using white clay, as demonstrated by this bowl. Concentric white circles extend around the upper and lower parts of the inner and outer surfaces, while the inner wall features a chrysanthemum design in three places. Sand is stuck to the foot and the outer base. The bowl is tinged with vivid yellow. Parts of the rim are slightly damaged, but the glaze is finely fused.<br />

![This mirror box is decorated with lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlaid designs. Thelid of the box opens upwards, and has brass hinges and a closure in the sahpe of a flower. The lower drawer has a handle in the shape of a bat.<br />
<br />
This box has a mirror attached to the inside of its lid and was used by women. The box is decorated with hexagon and bamboo motifs by employing <em>kkeuneumjil</em> and <em>jureumjil</em> techniques. Hinges made of nickel are decorated with chiseled peonies on a ringmat ground. The corner brackets, or side wrappers, are in “I” shape. The single drawer has a handle in the shape of a bat, realistic to the extent of depicting antenna. Lacquer was heavily repainted on the base of the drawer. The frame of the mirror inside was decorated with fret-patterned band on left and right sides, and saw-tooth design on upper and lower sides.

![It has a wide mouth and a shape which flared out to a generously-sized shoulder, then tapers to a slim lower body. It is a storage jar inlaid chrysanthemum, cloud and crane design.<br />
<br />
This is an ornate short-necked jar embellished with inlaid designs of clouds and cranes on its entire body. It is built by coiling due to its large size. Its shoulder and lower part of the body are inlaid with lotus petals, and the body is inlaid with cranes and chrysanthemums. Lumps of glaze are found on some parts of the body and pinpoles are found around the foot. Crazing was formed on the entire glazed surface. Shards of similar vessels had been excavated from Yucheon-ri, Buan- gun, Jeollabuk-do.<br />

![Inlaying silver into ironware was a popular method of decorating metalwork that required high levels of skill. Numerous items were produced with inlay decorations. The entire lid and body of this hexagonal case are decorated with inlaid silver. The lid features a hexagonal design in its center surrounded by a continuous four-leaf flower design. The six sides of the body are decorated by three pairs of turtle designs, crane designs and deer designs, arranged alternately. The lid and body are bordered with a fret-patterned band. This case with a flat base is excellently preserved. This type of iron-lidded case with inlaid silver design was produced in large quantities from the nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, continuing through the Japanese annexation of the Korean Peninsula. Such cases are mostly octagonal; this is a rare hexagonal example.

![<p>This bowl was produced between the late 12th and 13th century, when ornate decoration was accorded greater importance than the beauty of color.

On both the upper part of the inner and outer walls are decorated a band of scrolls and a pair of horizontal lines, respectively. The low foot displays refractory spur marks.
