![<p>This cup is similar in appearance to a round pot, with its mouth curving inwards slightly. The glaze has been oxidized, producing brown tints. The outer rim is black inlaid with a fret-patterned band, below which is also inlaid in black with chrysanthemum spray designs in three places. Coarse sand is stuck on the entire foot and outer base. Glaze has owed down to the interior of the cup during ring and has severely peeled off from the mouth and the outer surface in parts, exposing the body.<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 vase has a slightly outward-turned rim and a short neck. The elegantly-shaped bottle flares out to a broad shoulder, then tapers gradually to a slim waist before flaring out once more at the base. The shoulder, mid-belly and base of the vase are decorated with black and white clay-inlaid cloud, crane and butterfly motifs.
<p>The body of this vase is inlaid with clouds with black slip and butterflies inlaid with black and white slips, while the lower body is decorated with incised fret-patterned band. The mouth has been completely destroyed and repaired once, but has now fallen into decay. The glaze at the foot is opaque and cracked because of the low ring temperature and it has many pinholes on one side. Glaze was wiped away from the base, and there remain refractory spur marks.<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. A small circle was incised at the inner bottom, surrounded by two concentric circles inlaid with white slip. On the inner wall are decorated four small medallions inside which are rendered chrysanthemum sprays. 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. Glaze drips and cracks are visible in parts of the bowl’s surface.<br />

![<p>This vessel was produced in a form typical of 13th century celadon bottles with the beautifully curved form and inlaid decorations on the entire surface. The body is divided into six segments, each of which is inlaid with chrysanthemum stems rst then stamped with owers using the inhwa (stamping) technique. Glaze was wiped away from the base and sand supports were used during ring. Glaze on the lower part of the bottle was poorly fused, yielding an opaque surface, however the overall quality of sintering is fine. The mouth has been repaired and restored. This piece is assumed to have been produced at a kiln at Yucheon-ri, Buan-gun, Jeollabuk-do.<br />
