Produced at regional kiln in the 17th and 8th centuries Joseon, this white porcelain bottle is stable and balanced in form. It was made from iron-rich clay which tinged the bottle with gray-white, a common characteristic of 17th century white porcelain. The glaze on the upper part is transparent and shiny, but that on the lower part was not fully melted, producing a rough texture. The foot exposes the clay body as the glaze was wiped away from the bottom of the foot.<br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2014) p.176]
