This lustrous stoneware vessel is a ewer, or pitcher, dating to the early 1100s, during Korea's Goryeo dynasty (918-1392). It was probably used for wine, which may have been warmed by placing the ewer in a matching bowl of heated water. The ewer's color is called celadon, which is created by a glaze that includes iron oxide. Today, connoisseurs around the world continue to treasure Goryeo celadon as among the most precious items created by Korean artisans.
