[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4862356, member: 2844"]I agree. It is lovely, and I've also seen them described as turtle bottles. As far as I know the original ones were made of buncheon ware, so grey clay (stoneware?) decorated with dark colours. I think this is a later piece, a reference to the old jarabyeongs. Not a fake, because it isn't buncheon ware, but a very nice later version, and good quality imo. I have no idea of the age, but it seems to have been used. The yellowish stuff looks like limescale to me. Others can probably advise you better on how to get rid of that, but our late great member Greg (gregsglass) used denture tablets. Thanks to him I have also been succesful in getting rid of limescale that way. If you want to try that method, just fill it with water to cover the yellow stuff, and pop in a denture tablet. You can repeat it as often as you like.[/QUOTE]
