Source Description
Toward the late 1300s, the overall quality of techniques involved in making celadon works sharply deteriorated. In contrast to translucent greenish blue celadon works of the 1100s, this flask, possibly dated to the late 1300s, has brownish green glaze. And its inlaid design also shows a clear sign of decline in craftsmanship. Nevertheless, less attention to techniques gave way to a freer style pottery called <em>buncheong</em> in the succeeding centuries.
