This vessel is shaped like a side-lying cylinder. Both ends of the cylinder were paddled into a convex shape, and a mouth rim was added around the opening in the middle, on the top side. The surface is densely filled with small stamped and inlaid bead motifs and is covered with a thin coat of a clear light greenish blue glaze. The bottle vase, rough and unpolished, as though kneaded and beaten to shape, has at the same time a majestic allure. The stamped dots completely covering the surface are highly original as well. While sophisticated in the overall style, this one-of-a kind vessel radiates an untamed sort of beauty and appears to have been made during the 15th century, the high point of buncheong ware making.
