| 19th Century porcelain bottle covered entirely in underglaze cobalt blue with high quality body and glaze, strongly suggesting that it is from the Punwon royal kilns. This wine bottle is very much like the one in the Brooklyn Museum (see page 157 of Korean Art from the Brooklyn Museum Collection by Robert Moes). Japanese connoisseurs call this rare type of Korean porcelain, ruyi-yu. The lively brushstrokes of the cobalt blue are clearly visible. The contrast between the paler and darker areas give the piece a great vitality. The fine form is a gently flared mouth atop a long, narrow neck that gracefully widens at an unusually narrow angle to form a slightly compressed and wide round body of distinctive beauty, that tapers inward at the bottom, finishing in a raised foot ring. This piece has a very professional and virtually undetectable repair. 6 inches (15cm) height x 13 inches (33cm) circumference. | ||
