It is covered with a celadon glaze, beneath which is black-and-white inlaid decoration. This decoration features four roundels enclosing either a chrysanthemum or peony spray, with willow trees adorning the space between each roundel. There is a band of lotus petals around the shoulder and the foot, leafy sprays on the neck, and a squared spiral border around the mouth. There are touches of underglaze copper red on the peonies. Underglaze copper-red is quite rare on celadons of the Goryeo dynasty (918-1392). Examples of brilliant red colour achieved by using underglaze copper pigment are rare because of the difficulty in stabilizing copper pigment. \r\n\r\nSome areas on the neck and foot are unglazed, and there is some gold lacquer repair to the rim. The small loop has been restored, and there is a firing crack on the base that extends to the body.","physicalDescription":"The bottle has a globular body and a long slender neck, to one side of which is a small loop.
