Joseon Dynasty Buncheong Ware Flat Jar with Inlaid

A Buncheong ware flat Jar made in the early Joseon Dynasty. It has a low profile that looks like it has been squashed from above, and the spout is set to one side. In Japan, there was a flat bottle of this shape in the Sue ware of the Asuka and Nara periods. Although it is a vessel for pouring water from its shape, it is believed that it was also used as a vase for arranging flowers in the Joseon dynasty. Buncheong ware is porcelain made by applying white clay to gray clay, which contains a lot of iron, and applying a grayish-blue glaze. Inheriting the inlay technique of Goryeo celadon, the upper surface of the body is decorated with circular multi-line patterns, wave patterns, and floral patterns. Many small-sized Funcheong wares such as bottles and plates are distributed, but somewhat large flat jars like this one are rarely seen, making them extremely rare. The surface of the base of the mouth has come off. There is one small chip on the bottom. Since this item is an excavated product, there are other small scratches. There is a small amount of sand in the bottle.
