Okay so far i have found... 15th century (end of Goryeo); it was used for royalty/upperclasses for rice wine; white glaze/porcelain; the slenderness at the top and wide bottom allows for better stability; this is how most bottles were shaped especially in early Choson
This bottle was most commonly used among the aristocrats and royalty for rice wine. It was used in the Choson courts and the homes of officials for ritual ceremonies. It is made of porcelain and covered with a clear glaze. Its shape is very slender and bellows at the bottom to give the bottle great stability. This shape was developed in the late Goryeo period but was not greatly seen until the Choson period. It became the most common shape for a bottle in the Choson period. Its clean, plain, simple look was to represent the simplicity of Confucianism, the common belief of Choson people.
okay so here is this one corrected.... Made of porcelain and covered with a clear glaze, the bottle’s shape is slender and flares at the bottom to give the bottle great stability. Potters developed this shape in the late Goryeo period, where kings, aristocrats, and officials used bottles like this for holding rice wine during ritual ceremonies. This shape became more common in the early Choson period because its clean, plain, simple look reflected the simplicity of Confucianism, the common belief of Choson people. The shape’s practicality made it the most common bottle shape of the period.
