DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Water dropper in the shape of a house. Porcelain, slab-built, incised, painted in iron-brown and copper-red, and glazed. This water dropper in the form of an L-shaped house also has the form of the first character in the han'gul script (the consonant K, which looks like an inverted capital L). It is finely incised with doors, windows and roof tiles, and the character pok (happiness) is inscribed in decorative script on one end.  Two holes, one in the roof on the inner corner and the other below on the outer corner, allow water to be filled in and poured out.  The roof is coloured in underglaze iron-brown and the sides are painted with 'pillars' in copper-red.  A greyish-white glaze is tinged with blue and covers the whole piece except for the base, which shows traces of a firing support.
