Celadon Bottle with Incised Cloud Design

This celadon bottle with incised cloud design was made around the twelfth to thirteenth century. It exhibits a sack-like body with a bulging lower body and a long neck that spreads like a trumpet. It forms a set with a lid.

The rings attached to the top of the lid and the neck of the bottle were designed to thread a string through them with which to attach the lid. Unusually, this celadon bottle retains its original lid, as the lids of most celadon bottles and ewers have been lost. The bottom part of the lid has a 2.0cm-long point designed to insert into the mouth of the bottle, while a leaf pattern is engraved on its upper part. The body bears a design of three large and four small incised clouds of different sizes. In particular, the clouds feature a straight head with a zigzag tail, resembling a pine tree. Normally one would draw a cloud horizontally, but in this case the clouds appear to represent the courageous and elevated spirit of the Goryeo people.
