White Porcelain Dae Bottle

This large bottle is glazed all over with white glaze, though its overall tone has a slight grey tinge; it has a thickly rolled, outward-flaring rim, a long neck, and a body with relatively little volume. While it is a typical bottle shape of the first half of the 18th century, its distinguishing features lie in its unusually large size — a total height of 46.4 cm — its exaggeratedly elongated neck, and its rolled, outward-flaring rim. Fired on a sand kiln support, this white porcelain large bottle has a somewhat poor glaze fusion inside the foot and shows traces of repair on the rim, but almost no other surviving example of this shape is known, making it a rare piece. It is judged to be an 18th-century object made for a special purpose, such as a tea bottle.
