Pottery: Unknown
Bottle with deer and crane design. Porcelain, thrown, painted in cobalt-blue and glazed. The decoration of this bottle, like that of C.440-1984 features some of the 'ten motifs of long life' (sipchangsaeng) including a crane flying among clouds, a deer, a pine-tree, pulloch'o fungi, bamboo and rocks. The cobalt is of a bright colour and is evenly covered with a pale bluish glaze that is slightly discoloured near the base due to oxidisation.

In the nineteenth century the neck of wine bottles became longer and the body wider with a very broad base, giving the vessels a very stable appearance. This is in contrast with the eighteenth century when the body was more elongated and often faceted. In addition, the snow-white glaze of the eighteenth century turned more bluish in the nineteenth, which is characteristic of the Punwon-ri kilns.
