Label copy

Produced and consumed worldwide for millennia, wine is often poured from a ceramic vessel into shallow cups or bowls made of various materials. The decorations of the Korean wine cup on its stand appear to be painted, but they were carved into the clay while it was still moist. The cavities were then filled with colored slips (thinned clay) and the entire vessel was covered with celadon glaze and fired. The combination of celadon glaze and inlaid slip decoration is unique to the ceramics of Korea.
