Spherical stoneware jar with an elongated neck and wide flaring mouth. Two indented bands stretch across the base of the neck and repeat halfway up the neck as it flares outward.
Subject Matter
Storage jar.
Archaeological evidence indicates that this ceramic type was first developed in the Kaya region, and subsequently adopted in Silla. While earlier coil-built pottery was uneven and restricted in form, the Kaya-Silla wares were thrown on a fast wheel giving them thin, and even walls. They were fired at high temperature (about 800°C), in efficient, large single-chambered kilns, which made them tough and non-porous.
