Washington, D.C.: Asian Cultural History Program, Department of Anthropology, Smithsonian Institution. Identified there as Bottle with chrysanthemum pattern; Stoneware; inlaid celadon glaze; 31.5 x 16 cm; 13th century; Goryeo. In the 12th century, Goryeo potters invented and mastered the inlay process, an extremely complicated technique. Each flower petal was delicately carved into the clay and then filled with a mixture of clay and quartz that fired white. Different mixes turned black, dark red, or brown when fired.
