The glaze colour and the proportions of the almost spherical body, the slightly waisted neck, and the footring which is a little higher than on previous examples (for example, cat. 181), all suggest that this bottle was made towards the end of the nineteenth century. For nineteenth-century sherds from Punwon-ri, see Sekai Toji Zenshu, vol.19, 1980, pl.239.
