This  off-white delicate pottery wine/water pourer represents  the austere Confucian influence of a period in Korean Culture. It is bulbous in form,  simple, and  accented only by stepped bands or rings around the base of the neck. The neck likewise is accented with grooves before it opens up. The lip is thin allowing liquid to be poured easily. There are physical and visual signs that this piece was turned. The form especially the neck and mouth has a semblance to Persian vessels which is historically linked to the conquests of  the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty had great influence on Korean pottery. The vase considering its age overall is  in good condition.  There is however a tight hairline  that runs 2 1/2" down from the rim (possibly a firing flaw). This is evident inside and outside of the neck. There is also a  grey coloration along the hairline that indicates attempt to repair the hairline.  There is also a mole that is obviously a production flaw. The bottle is 9 3/4" high; the opening is 2 1/2" and the belly is app 7" wide (21 1/2" around with a tape).

 Buyer is advised to research and examine photos closely. The white tone in the first photo captures best the color of the vessel. Please  take note and examine the issues  mentioned as related to the condition:  The hairline along the neck, signs of repair to the neck, the mole and a few tiny dots; and a  superficial cavity close to the mole.
