	Korea / Gourd-Shaped Bottle / Koryô dynasty (918?1392), 12th century
		This elegant bottle in the shape of a gourd, which was probably used for serving wine, is a rare example of the little-studied gray stoneware of the Koryô period.
		It has a slightly rolled lip, a narrow ridge around the neck, and a small circular vent aperture high on the shoulder that allowed the liquid contents of the bottle to be poured evenly.
		In contrast to the highly acclaimed and well-known celadon stonewares of the period, which are characterized by a grayish blue-green glaze over a light-colored body, this piece, which is unglazed except for the incidental settling of ash during the kiln firing, derives its color from the high iron content of the clay.
