The ewer, dated to the late 4th century, is shaped like an [[ellipse]] and is of a soft-green color, the top resembles a [[beak]] and is used for pouring water. On the handle, [[Gold|gold wire]] is wrapped around it as part of a repair before its deposit in the tomb. The cups Cup I (late 4th century) is broad on top, and narrow on the bottom, latticed in texture on the bottom half with a blue rim and a wave pattern on the top half. Cup II (late 4th century) has a thick rim, and has a dent in the middle of the base. Cup III is light green in color with a broad-cubic rim. They were all damaged and cracked upon their discovery in situ but have been reassembled to their original shape. The glassware set was deposited in the 5th century during a time of good relations between Gogoryeo and Silla, which researchers speculate date to the rule of [[Naemul of Silla]] to [[Nulji of Silla]] (ca. 450 AD).{{Cite web |last= |
