late 12th century · Stoneware with reverse-inlaid design under celadon glaze · Asian Art
This bottle illustrates the care lavished on even the smallest objects produced during the Goryeo dynasty. Small bottles were intended for scented oils and cosmetics. The peony-leaf motif is created through a reverse-inlay technique: the area around the leaf design is carved away and inlaid with white slip. The leaves are further embellished with fine incised lines.
