Elites of the Goryeo period are known for their love of drinking tea and wine in various occasions, and commissioned a variety of serving wares such as this wine bottle. The shape of this bottle with a narrow, long neck and a spherical body is believed to have been first invented in 9th-century Chinese Yue kilns of Northern Zhejiang province. This bottle with a narrow, long neck and a spherical body, which is missing its lid, was once used in ceremonial events to serve wine.
