Sgraffito technique (Seongak) was deployed, which
involves incising designs using a carving tool. The technique was favourably
used in the Jeolla province.

A Peony-leaf pattern appears on the front and
the back, while geometric patterns are featured on either side. During Joseon
Dynasty, the peony was a symbol of wealth. Its popularity as a decorative motif
reflects that Joseon society placed significance on happiness in the present
world rather than the afterlife.



The brush-stroke marks on the white slip indicate
that gwiyal technique was deployed. Considering that gwiyal was typically applied on buncheong for common use, it is highly likely that this bottle was produced for everyday use.
