Description: A Korean wine ewer made during the Goryeo Dynasty, c. 1250 AD. It is made of stoneware copper pigment and a white slip under a celadon glaze. There is decoration of kneeling children near the leaf-shaped spout, identical to another Korean ewer that was found in the tomb of a prince who died in 1257 on Kanghwa Island, where the Korean court took refuge during the Mongol invasions of Korea from 1232-1270.
