content: "Onggi" ware soy sauce container or eating utensil holder, with dark brown glaze. Label with object reads: "South Korea soy sauce server, Purchased at kiln site 1971, Ralph Rinzler". Another old label stuck on the vessel reads: "Lee Hae Man, Cholla Puk Do" and according to Paul Taylor, curator of Asian Ethnology, this label most likely came from another vessel Rinzler collected in 1972 (see correspondence with R. Sayers).
label: Notes
content: This container may have been used to hold eating utensils. After chopsticks and spoons were washed, they were put into the container. The water would drip to the bottom and poured out through the spout. The low positioned spout is evidence of this.
