According to South Korean media reports, the country's application for a "silver vase with pear flower design" to be recognized as a cultural relic was canceled as it turned out that the vase was actually made in Japan.
该消息一时间在社交媒体上引发热议。不少韩国网友质疑相关人员的工作能力，认为他们在核实本国文化遗产时疏忽大意，缺乏专业知识。
“银制李花文花瓶”现收藏在韩国国立古宫博物馆。历史上，李花是朝鲜李氏王朝的王室标志。韩国专家据此认为这一工艺品由为大韩帝国王室制作工艺品而设立的李王职美术品制作所于1910年出品的。
2009年，韩国文化遗产厅称这一文物“作为反映当时工艺品制作实际情况的文物，史料价值很大”，并将其登记为文化遗产。
In ancient times, the pear blossom was the symbol of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea (1392-1910). When the vase was first discovered, South Korean experts believed that it was made in the official workshop of the former royal family in 1910. In 2009, it was recognized by the Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea (CHAK) as a cultural heritage item.
后来，有研究人员在该工艺品底部发现了“纯银”和“小林”的字样，他们认为这一定是制作者的印记。直到去年12月，韩国文化遗产厅才重启对该文物的研究，并最终确认它是在日本制作的工艺品。
Later, some researchers found the Chinese characters "pure silver" and "kobayashi" on the bottom of the vase, which they thought must be a mark of the producer. Further investigation found that the vase was designed and made by the famous arts and crafts store Kobayashi Watch Shop in Tokyo, Japan.
小林钟表店（Kobayashi Watch Shop）曾是日本著名的钟表店和艺术品制作地，从19世纪中期到1943年在东京营业，据说该店曾向日本宫内省等各官厅供货。经核实，“小林”是该店的标记，“银制李花文花瓶”就是在此时此地所造。
实际上，韩国专家在将花瓶列为文化遗产之前，已经对花瓶的形态、保存状态、制作工艺等进行了现场考察，检查损坏印迹并研究其工艺设计。但不知为何没有提到瓶子底部的“小林”押印。
However, the South Korean experts had thoroughly inspected the vase, looking for damage and examining its craftsmanship and design before it was classified as a cultural heritage.
