White Porcelain Flask with Copper-red Underglaze Painting

This white porcelain flask is a rare artifact whose entire surface is coated with copper red pigment. Its body is decorated with plum and bamboo design carved in relief, with a handle in the shape of an animal on each side. This white porcelain with underglaze red-copper decoration ranks among the finest of the last works produced by any kiln run by the Joseon dynasty.
