This white porcelain water dropper is characterized by a drum-shaped body decorated with a motif of the yin-yang (taegeuk) symbol that many Confucian philosophers, including the great Song thinker Zhou Dunyi, favored as a representation of the microcosmos and macrocosmos. In this particular motif, the dark portion represents yin and the light area is yang. The side walls of this vessel are embellished with lotus and eggplant carvings.
