Made of white clay with high-kaolin content. Glaze has been removed from the flat base. A handle is attached to one side.<br /> <br /> This oil lamp is made from high-quality white clay with a highkaolin content. The glaze has been removed from its flat base, which was placed on a kiln shelf during firing. The lamp was designed so that oil is first poured into the body, after which a wick is drawn out through the small hole at the top of the lid to be lit. A handle was attached to one side of the body. Oil lamps of this kind were widely used in private homes in Korea since the Japanese colonial period until the 1950s.<br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2014) p.209]
