Natural motifs inspired both the shape of celadon vessels as well as their inlaid designs in the Goryeo period. This wine ewer is shaped like a bamboo shoot, but it also resembles a lotus bud. Even though the spout was repaired, the ewer is a celadon masterpiece of the Goryeo period. This lid was donated in 1998 for the bamboo-shaped wine pitcher ( CMA 1928.179 ), but it turned out to be too big.
