Though called azure glaze, the glaze itself is translucent, only making the blue glaze underneath it visible throughout the body. Porcelain in azure glaze was popularly produced in Korea's late Choson dynasty (1392-1910) by the Bunwanriyo kiln, one of the government-sponsored kilns located at Kwangjukun in Kyoungki Province. Ceramic fragments have been excavated in large numbers from kiln ruins in this area. Tall-necked bottles with azure glaze produced during the 18th and 19th centuries often have a flower-shaped foot and distinctive body shape.
