Wine Jar with Design of Peonies
15th-16th century (Joseon)
stoneware with white slip and glaze

(Japan and Korea )
A Korean poem referring to a 16th-century general suggests the spirit that this wine bottle might have evoked:
Mr. Ko builds a grass hut
Somewhere on South Mountain.
He tends flowers and the moon,
And stones and water.
He must keep wine also;
He invites me in for a cup.
(Peter B. Lee, translator)
