Korean Bronze Bottle Goryeo Dynasty
About the Item
An antique Korean bronze bottle of bulbous pear form with a long neck and flared open mouth from Goryeo Dynasty (918 AD-1392 AD) circa 12-13th century It was thought that the type of bottle with such harmonious form and proportion was inspired from the Chinese porcelain prototype "Yu Hu Chun" (Jade Jar Spring) and were commonly found among mortuary objects in the tomb of Goryeo period. Theory is divided in terms of their use. One school thinks they were exclusively used in ritual setting such as flower offering vases in Buddhist temple. The other school thinks they also serve some secular purposes. The metal analysis of these types of bottles shows significant content of lead, which suggests that they were probably not used for culinary functions.
The bottle is striking in its minimalistic elegant form. Its surface is most unadorned othering than two decorative circumventing lines under its neck and above the base. The base was cast separately, and the joins shows expected corrosion consistent with the making process. What is really visually striking is the deep green-bluish encrusted patina that has developed due to the prolonged exposure to earth elements in the ground. That renders the piece a very attractive and archaistic appeal.
For reference of analysis of these bottles, see page 108 of "Korean Art and Design" by Beth McKillop.

- Korean Ceramic Faceted Wine Bottle Vase Joseon DynastyLocated in Atlanta, GAA Korean ceramic bottle with octagonal faceted form with underglaze copper red decoration. The robust bottle with the long neck and a relatively thick built was used to hold liquor such as wine and it was from Joseon dynasty, likely late period (circa mid-late 19th century). The bottle was covered in a milky white glaze with a pleasant warm yellow tint. It has an underglaze iron red paint of branches of gingko leaves on the front and the back side. The color was oxidated into an ochre brown hue instead of iron red. The octagonal form extends nicely from the opening to the base, continuing through the body and makes this bottle geometrically interesting. The rustic paint of the gingko leaves also render the piece a folky modern appeal. For three faceted wine bottles from different period of Joseon Dynasty, see illustration 2, 71 and 73 of "Five Centuries of Korean Ceramics Pottery and Porcelains of the Yi Dynasty...Category
