Rare Korean Brown-Decorated Oil Bottle, Early Choson



This is a rare brown-decorated oil bottle from the early Choson period of 15th Century. The small Korean oil bottle has a beautiful squat shape sitting on a small foot ring and rising to a short neck and a sharply flared mouth rim. The shoulder and the center of the body are simply decorated with double-ring in vivid iron-brown pigment. The bottle was produced with the "Kohiki" or slip decorated Punch'ong with fine powdery slip underneath a clear glaze with bluish tint. There is a chip at one side as photographed. Other than the chip, this lovely oil jar is in good condition with a pristine glaze.
