Many white porcelain bottles of this type were produced at Bunwon-ri in the 19th century. One side of its body is decorated with a spray of plum blossom, with the stem and flowers rendered in underglaze iron brown and cobalt blue, respectively. The relatively vivid colors of iron and cobalt colors made the decorations highly effective. The entire foot was glazed, while the foot rim retains traces of fine sand spurs. The precipitation of ash deposits on one side has produced pale green spots. However, this is a high-grade object with transparent and well-fused glaze.<br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2014) p.180]

This white porcelain bottle is crudely shaped. It has a short neck and its surface is entirely covered in fine and evenly-spread crackles. Crackles are contaminated with many impurities, darkening the tone of the surface. Pale green transparent glaze was applied on the entire vessel including the foot which retains 12 refractory spur marks. The rim was slightly damaged before the application of glaze. The large number of pinholes on the lower part of the body and the sand stuck to the parts of the bottom suggest that this bottle was produced in a regional kiln.<br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2014) p.177]

This is an ordinatley jar shaped like maebyeong with a wide mouth. The shoulder is decorated with iron-pained semi-abstract vignette in two places. The decorated design is reddish brown in color, while its background color is pale gray-green. The foot and outer base are thoroughly glazed, on which are placed coarse sand during firing. The walls become thicker towards the base. The glaze was poorly applied. Therefore, the clay body is exposed in some places around the foot, and blisters reracuted ruptures resulted from bursting of the glaze.<br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2014) p.171]
