The lid has a loop attached at the top. It is decorated on all sides with black and white inlaid design of butterfly, chrysanthemum and peony with stem and foliage. The spout and handle was broken and restored. The lid seems to be fake.

<p>This bowl has a narrow foot and a ared mouth. is type of bowl was produced in large quantities from the 11th century to the 12th century. Its inner wall has mold-impressed peony sprays. The entire body of the bowl is glazed, including the inside of the foot, but the glaze on its rim of the foot was wiped away, on which refractory spurs were adhered to for ring. Parts of the inner surface show ne crackles, while the inner bottom was stained with greenish-brown iron spots. One part of the rim was damaged and subsequently repaired. Glaze applied to the outer surface has partially owed downwards, resulting in an uneven surface, but the glaze and clay are quite well fused and sintered.<br />

<p>The cup has a mouth that curves slightly inwards; this is a form typical of round cups with saucers produced in large numbers in the 13th and 14th centuries. The cup is decorated only on the outer rim with a fret-patterned band. Repaired damage is visible on several parts on the mouth, as well as cracking that occurred during ring. Glaze has been applied down to the foot, and three quartzite spur marks remain on the outer base. The partially oxidized body displays darker patches on the surface, but it preserves a bright celadon color overall.<br />

It has a flared mouth. The side is tapering gently down to the base. It was brushed with white slip interior and outerior sides.<br />
<br />
Bowls of this kind were commonly used as burial accessories in the 15th century Joseon; many have been excavated. This bowl has been rapidly spun and brush-painted with white slip on its inner and outer surfaces. The large amount of sand mixed with the clay has produced a rough texture. Traces of clay supports remain on both the inner base and the rim of foot, indicating that this bowl was stacked among other bowls while separated by clay spurs during firing. The glaze was fused well, producing a glossy surface.<br />
