This Maebyeong is wide at the shoulder and gradually narrow down to the base. The neck is a little long and body is high.<br />
<br />
This is a dark gray, high-fired stoneware maebyeong (prunus vase). The saucer-shaped vessel mouth is joined to a short, flared neck. The body extends downwards in a straight line from the shoulder before flaring slightly near the base. Its wall is not smoothed leaving it uneven. The shoulder has become contaminated by impurities during firing, and the center of the base is slightly recessed.
