As an elegant celadon bottle dating back to the Goryeo Period, this has height of 29 cm, mouth diameter of 5.9 cm, and base diameter of 9.5 cm. It has a long neck and a thin mouth that is spread outward. The shoulder makes a smooth curve, whereas the lower body bulges; the heel is rather tall and wide. Accordingly, it has a stable overall appearance. The thin, transparent layer of glaze contains fine air bubbles and has a light greenish blue color. The background of the design in the area below the mouth is cut wide, and a scroll design is engraved using the semi-embossing technique in order to create an embossing effect. Stripes are engraved in the area above the shoulder, with flowers placed in the area below it using the semi-embossing technique. There are small cloud designs sparsely engraved throughout the body and lotus flower designs around the lower part.
