Blue-and-white ware: porcelain with decoration painted in underglaze cobalt blue; with mark reading "Un Hyŏn" ("Cloud Hill") painted in underglaze cobalt blue on the base; the inscription perhaps is a reference to the palace in which the Prince Regent lived from 1864 to 1873. Made at the official kilns in Kwangju-gun, Kyŏnggi province, perhaps in Punwŏn-ri.
