This celadon tiger-shaped vessel, popular in China, depicts a tiger kneeling on all four knees while gazing upward. The roaring tiger’s mouth is represented by a spout, and its hindquarters are indented to vividly portray the appearance of a powerful charge. The tiger face attached to the spout is a stamped impression, depicted with great detail and realism. A bow-shaped handle is attached where the head meets the back, and diagonal lines are incised on the upper part of the handle to create the effect of being wrapped in string. There are four thick toes on each foot, and two incised lines are depicted between the three segments. The body, shaped like a silkworm cocoon, features incised lines on the inside to represent wings, adding a sense of agility.
Based on its overall form and the material of the celadon, this vessel appears to have been produced in China during the late Western Jin or early Eastern Jin period and introduced to Baekje. It serves as an important artifact for understanding the exchange relations between Baekje and the Southern Dynasties of China, as well as for examining the relationship between Baekje’s central and provincial regions.
