Bottle with Incised Lotus Design

Bottles used as vessels for drinking and storing liquid are essential in daily life, and were used for various rites and as burial goods. Among Goryeo celadon, bottles were among the most produced vessels, following small bowls, large bowls, dishes and cups. They vary in type and form, including longnecked bottles, oil bottles, lobed vases, purified water bottles(kundika), curved bottles, and okhochun wine-containing vases. Bottles of the Goryeo dynasty were also created as earthenware and metalware.
