A Buncheong ware sake bottle fired in the early Joseon dynasty. This type of inlaid design piece is called “Sanggam Buncheong” in Korea and “Mishima-de” in Japan. This piece features black and white inlaid willow patterns and is covered in celadon glaze. The glaze shows a soft mint green, with white grits inside the foot. The simplistic yet robust shape is typical of early Joseon pottery, while the glaze and decorative motifs demonstrate a lingering influence from the previous Goryeo celadon. This piece marks the fascinating transitional period between Goryeo and Joseon ceramics, highlighting both continuity and change in Korean pottery craftsmanship. The bottle is particularly rare due to its willow pattern, and its smaller size, ideal for personal drinking use, is a distinctive feature.

The bottle’s lustrous surface suggest it has seen long-term use. With a capacity of 200ml, it is perfect for intimate, cherished occasions. The rim has two Kintsugi repairs, adding to its historical charm. It comes housed in a box.
