Jar with long-life motifs. Porcelain, thrown, painted in cobalt-blue and glazed. This jar has a tall neck and a bulbous shoulder, and the body narrows towards the foot which is bevelled and has a low footring. On the neck, beneath a pair of parallel lines, is a scroll motif (tangch'o), around the shoulder a broad yi-head border and the body is painted with clouds and cranes, a deer and long life fungus (pulloch'o), rocks, pine and bamboo. The glaze is of pale bluish-white colour, with a dark-stained crackle. The footring shows traces of sand from firing supports.

This type of long-life design (changsaengmun) came into use in the first half of the nineteenth century. The vessel is of the same general type as a jar with underglaze-blue and underglaze-red designs in the Seoul National Museum, illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu, vol.19, 1980, pl.204, and has similarities with sherds from Punwn-ri, shown ibid., pl.239.
