Stoneware oil bottles were used in Korea during the Unified Silla and Goryeo periods to keep perfumed oils for the mixing of pigments used in cosmetics. These oils were generally made from fruit stones, rice bran and castor seeds.
This oil bottle has been decorated with an inlay technique called 'sanggam', which was invented by Korean potters in the twelfth century. The design was incised into the clay body of the vessel and then filled with slip (diluted clay). Excess slip would have been removed before the piece was biscuit fired, then the bottle was covered with a translucent celadon glaze and fired again. The development of the sanggam inlay technique signifies the elegance and innovativeness of Goryeo ceramic production; no similar inlay technique was used by Chinese craftsmen at the time.

高麗王朝青釉內嵌花卉炻器油瓶
韓國，十二至十三世紀。侈口，縮頸，微扁球體，圈足。 肩部倒蓮花紋，瓶身錦地，兩面開光，開光中有盛開的荷花和卷葉紋。足部上方蓮花瓣紋，足部串珠紋帶。
來源：紐約古玩交易。
品相：狀況良好，有一些磨損和燒製缺陷，包括陶瓷中的氣泡、凹坑、釉料中的碎片和裂紋。
重量：852.4 克
尺寸：高 17 釐米和寬 16.5 釐米
在新羅和高麗統一時期，韓國使用炻器油瓶來保存香油，來混合化妝品需要的顏料。這些油通常由果仁、米和蓖麻籽製成。
這種鑲嵌技術在韓國被稱為桑乾風格。在這種技術中，陶工將設計雕刻成半乾陶器，並將材料放入黑色或白色粘土的裝飾中。在燒坯之前，多餘的釉漿會被去除，然後瓶子上覆蓋半透明的青瓷釉並再次燒製。
