A celadon stem cup made in the Goryeo dynasty.
It is a wide-mouthed, bowl-shaped vessel with long, slender legs.
It was popular during the Yuan dynasty in China, and this shape spread and was made in kilns all over the country.
It is said that it was made to be easy to hold with one hand so that people could drink tea or drink alcohol while on horseback.
However, recent research suggests that it was also used for drinking and tea, as well as for placing sweets, and as a ritual vessel related to the customs of nomadic peoples.
It was introduced during the Goryeo dynasty and began to be made after the 13th century.
Various patterns are applied to the inside, body, and legs using black and white inlay.
On the inside, a chrysanthemum design is in the center, surrounded by a wish-granting head design, and above that, a powerful dragon is applied as if swimming among the clouds.
On the outside, there is a thunder pattern under the rim, and four phoenixes are dancing on the body, with their tails inlaid in black and white to create an elegant look.
The dragon is a design of the dynasty, and the phoenix is ​​an auspicious design, and it was used by people of high rank.
The slightly yellowish gray-blue celadon glaze is moist and calm with little crackle-glazed color overall.
There are three large stone nail marks on the bottom of the thick base.
Even among Goryeo celadon, which often has distorted shapes, this is an exceptional piece with little distortion and good symmetry overall.

There is no conspicuous flaws.There are some scratches on the glaze.Although the surface is slightly aged, it has a good luster.
