{"product_id":"00305ichinbin","title":"Goryeo Celadon Gourd-shaped Small Bottle with Slip-trailed Butterfly Flower design","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a small celadon bottle fired during the Goryeo Dynasty.\u003cbr\u003eIt features an overall gourd shape with a small opening at the top.\u003cbr\u003eThe lower section of the body is decorated using the \"itchin\" (Slip-trailed) technique, where slip is squeezed from a fine nozzle to create raised designs.\u003cbr\u003eOne motif depicts a butterfly, with its wings rendered in white slip and its markings and antennae drawn in iron pigment.\u003cbr\u003eThe other motif appears to be a peony; the petals are executed in white slip, while the stems and leaves are painted with iron pigment.\u003cbr\u003eThis combination of flowers and butterflies is a classic motif symbolizing eternal youth and prosperity.\u003cbr\u003eBetween these designs, Chinese characters interpreted as \"喜\" (Joy) and \"富\" (Wealth) are painted in iron pigment.\u003cbr\u003eThe applied celadon glaze has a strong green hue, creating a rustic aesthetic with visible specks of iron.\u003cbr\u003eSmall bits of stone remain on the base left over from the firing process to prevent the piece from sticking to the kiln reflecting a characteristic feature of Goryeo-period ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece has been cherished and handed down through generations. While it has been carefully used, there are scattered areas where the glaze or \"itchin\" (slip-trailed decoration) has chipped off. There is a small aged deterioration on the surface, but overall it is luster and in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"燦禾 SANKA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45560012111919,"sku":null,"price":182000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/1453\/9567\/files\/00305-02.jpg?v=1783134733","url":"https:\/\/sanka-antique.com\/en\/products\/00305ichinbin","provider":"燦禾 SANKA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
