Stoneware ewer with celadon glaze in the shape of a calabash, or double-gourd. The handle mimics the tendrils of the gourd. A long, thin spout curves slightly outward from the rounded base, and a small lid crested by a tendril-like loop covers an opening at the top of the ewer. <p>This is an undecorated gould-shaped ewer. Its stopper, handle joints, handle, and spout show traces of repair and restoration. The at base retains four refractory spur marks and was glazed only in the center of the outer base. The glaze was not fused well in parts, leaving some runnings, but it is well balanced in form.<br /> [<em>Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art </em>(2014) p.132]</p>
