This liquor ewer is crafted in a somewhat slim gourd form and is accompanied by a high-footed support that widens outward. Grapevines with children hanging from them are depicted on the front in white slip inlay. The contours of these children are applied with black slip inlay, as are the central points and the edges of the bunches of grapes. Other clusters of grapes are applied with copper underglaze. This item is presumed to have been produced at a celadon kiln located in Yucheon-ri, Boan-myeon, Buan-gun, North Jeolla-do Province.
