As one made in the early Joseon Period (1392-1910), this object displays the shape, ornamental factors, glaze color, and style of the bottom typical of white porcelain bottles made during the period. In particular, the imposing yet graceful shape and the unique ornamentation technique using openwork and carving in relief are a rare example, and little is known about the likes of such. The mouth of the bottle extends outward, like that of a trumpet. The neck is thin and long, and the lower part of the body is wider than the upper part. The bottom is relatively high and large, which is characteristic of the white porcelain bottles made in the early Joseon Period. The outer surface showing bratticing is separated from the inner space for containing liquid. It is a unique object distinguished from its cousins made in Korea.
