McCune–Reischauer	Maebyŏng

Maebyeong refers to Korean vessels with a small slightly curled mouth rim, short neck, round shoulder, and constricted waist.^[1] The maebyong is derived from the Chinese meiping (literally "plum vase").^[2]^[3] They were first used to hold wine and later branches of plum blossoms.^[4]^[5]

Some of these vessels have a cup-shaped cover over the mouth, so that they seemed to be used to store high quality wine such as insamju (인삼주, ginseng wine) or maehwaju (매화주; rice wine made with plum)^[6] It would have originally had a lid and there are many maebyong with ginseng leaves on the surfaces.^[7]
