Source Description
In the 1600s, Korean and Japanese elites could enjoy wine from Europe. In his 1636 travel diary called <em>Haecharok</em>, Kim Seryeom, a vice director of Korean envoys to Japan, recorded that the head of Japan’s Tsusima Island treated him to Western red wine. Therefore, export porcelain ware like <em>Square Bottle with Squirrel and Grapes</em> could have been made as a wine bottle.
