As a final example from the museum, we show this elegant white porcelain bottle from the 19th century. White porcelain was a favorite with the yangban class, because of its elegance and purity. The bottle is decorated with embossed crysanthemums that show themselves modestly within the uniform white glaze of the vessel.
