<p>[QUOTE=&quot;absolutelydraconic, post: 4854429, member: 76696&quot;]Hello again, I come bearing an interesting piece. It&#039;s a korean jarabyeong bottle, meant for holding water or alcohol, though with a spout like that I hesitate to put anything in there that I&#039;ll be putting near my mouth. It has a really unique shape and I&#039;ve seen it called a &quot;bottle in the shape of a turtle&quot; online. The seller didn&#039;t have anything he could tell me (and of course he listed another piece I want to get online right after I got back <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> why is he so far away), but this style of bottle was most common in the 15th and 16th centuries during the Joseon dynasty. I doubt it&#039;s *that* old, but it&#039;s still a neat piece nonetheless.</p><p>I&#039;m not sure if cleaning that rust(?) in the spout is worth it, I would like to use it to store liquids but I would hate to remove something that makes the piece look more aged and authentic. Plus the shape may make cleaning tricky.</p><p>nvm, im leaving, bye <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie92" alt=":turtle:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> [ATTACH=full]413666[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413667[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413668[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413669[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413670[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413671[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413672[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413673[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
