content: Illustrated p. 77 in Taylor, Paul Michael, and Christopher J. Lotis. 2008. Flagship of a fleet: a Korea Gallery guide. Washington, D.C.: Asian Cultural History Program, Department of Anthropology, Smithsonian Institution. Identified there as Bottle; Stoneware; buncheong ware; 33 x 32 cm; Late 20th century; By Yik-yung Kim. Although the shape and technique of this bottle recall the wine flask in the Joseon section, the large size and the design on just one side mark it as an art object meant for display rather than practical use.
