The body of the kettle is jade green on which white dots have been added to enhance the effect of depicting the pomegranates, The handle of the kettle resembles a curved pomegranate branch, whereas the spout is in the shape of the fruit. It is 18.4cm high with a diameter of 17.5cm and the diameter of its spout is 3.4cm. This kettle, made in the early 12th century, is exhibited at the National Museum of Korea.
