content: "Porcellaneous ware with transparent glaze. This bulbous bottle has a porcellaneous body which Hough characterizes as "light yellow granular paste" applied with an opalescent glaze "showing yellow spots and dark brown pits." He also observes that the form of the bottle, which was thought at the time Bernadou chose it to be four hundred years old, does not differ from Choson-period wares of the late 19th century. Collected in Seoul. Ref: Hough Korean Catalog pl. XII, upper fig. 2" [from: "An Ethnography of the Hermit Kingdom: The J.B. Bernadou Korean Collection 1884-1885", Chang-su Cho Houchins, 2004, number 2]
