This is a long-necked white porcelain bottle with peony sprays wrapping around the entire body. The white porcelain background is bright in colour, while the light and dark contrasts of the peony pattern give its flowers a three-dimensional appearance. There are sand spur marks on the foot, and on the outer base are incised symbols. Such marks are found in the waste deposits of kilns in Bunwonri, Gwangju-gun, Gyeonggi-do at the end of the 19th century. The mouth has been severed lost. This is a high-quality white porcelain bottle, with well sintered clay and glaze, but the rim has been severed and lost.<br />

<br />
Many of densely decorated buncheong wares, with the stamped technique, were produced for uses in government offices in the 15th century. The interior wall and base of the dish are decorated with stamped designs of scrolls and chrysanthemum bands, and a chrysanthemum, respectively, while on the exterior wall is inlaid with lutus petals. Four spur marks are left on the inner base, and sand is adhered to the entire rim of the foot, which evidences that this piece was placed on the floor during firing. The glaze was fused well and made a glossy surface.<br />
