content: "Late 19th century. Polished and blackened green soapstone. This cooking vessel has a detachable base. The cooking bowl surrounds the conical furnace and a lugged cover fits tightly around the furnace chimney. The base or firebox is open to maintain draft. Sinseollo literally means a cooking pot for Taoist immortals, and is used as a chafing dish in which meat, poultry, fish, and fancy varieties of vegetables are cooked in seasoned broth. Hough states that the vessel "is commonly used for frying meat when several friends assemble and cook this portion of their food according to a Korean custom."... Collected in Seoul.

Bernadou Korean Collection 1884-1885", Chang-su Cho Houchins, 2004, number 103]
