This item is a type of vessel known as a moon jar, or dal hangari in Korean, after its spherical form. Overall, this example is not perfectly symmetrical due to minor distortion during firing. The round mouth is slightly larger than the base. A transparent glaze has been applied, and long, thin cracks are formed on the glazed surface. It is generally regarded as a handsome artifact that embodies the beauty of Joseon white porcelain through its gracefully rounded milk-white surface
