Buncheong Ware Gyeryongsan-type Bale-shaped Bottle with Flower Leaf Design

The ceramic body is coated with a white slip applied by brush, and decorated with iron-pigment designs: a floral motif encircles the rim, while the two main sides of the body feature bold, expressive depictions of plants and flowers.
Near the spout, the white slip has been scraped away with a spatula to reveal the underlying clay, creating a linear pattern.
The piece is finished with a transparent glaze, giving it a soft, subtle luster.
While the top is rounded, one side features a foot ring (base), indicating that the piece was fired in this orientation.
The base of this foot ring is unglazed and bears "stone marks"—traces left from the supports used to stabilize the vessel during the firing process.
On one side of the body is a trumpet-shaped spout; otherwise, the surface is smooth and unadorned.
There are two primary methods for constructing and firing these bale-shaped vessels; this particular piece belongs to the type that features a foot ring rather than attached legs.
(Alternatively, some versions were made with legs attached to the curved side, lacking a formal foot ring.)
This construction method is characteristic of kilns in the northern regions.
Because this type lacks legs, it cannot easily stand upright on its own; it is believed that such vessels were either placed on a wooden stand or, when fitted with a stopper, used as a hot-water bottle.
Although the piece is inherently unstable, it is physically possible to stand it upright with the spout facing upward.

*Condition
Although there are some signs of age-related wear on the glazed surface and the iron-painted areas, a soft, subtle luster remains.
Due to the nature of the somewhat coarse clay used, the unglazed portions have a rugged texture that highlights the raw quality of the material.

*Shipping method
We will ship by EMS.
The item will be wrapped in cloth, placed in a hard box, and then further packed in a cardboard box for shipping.
Shipping to Japan will be done via Japan Post's parcel delivery service(Yu-Pack).
