The Early Joseon Period (1392 - c. 1550 CE) in Korea was bookended by internal power struggles but witnessed major scientific and societal advances and prosperity. The Joseon (Choson) Dynasty ruled Korea from 1392 CE to 1897 CE, and scholars typically break this 500-year dynasty into three periods: the Early Joseon, the Middle Joseon, and the Late Joseon periods.

This is a Choson-period "water dropper," known as a suiteki. They were "customarily used by Korean literati to wet their ink stones." White porcelain vases and other ceramic artifacts, as well as woodworks, were popular in Korea during the Mingei period. These artifacts were usually painted on with ink to show intricate detailing.
