Altar Dish
Korean
Description
Physical Description:
A glazed porcelain offering dish for an altar. The base is a wide cylinder which tapers sharply into a narrow top. The base supports a wide, almost flat disk as the bowl.
The dish is made from iron-rich clay that tinged the bowl with green-brown. The foot retains traces of sand spurs in eight places. Glaze on the reverse side of the vessel has crawled in parts, revealing the clay body and producing many flaws. This vessel was produced at a regional kiln.
