Bowl with carved lotus pattern

Subject Matter:

Ceramic color is usually depended on the quantities of iron in the clay and glaze and the way of fire. Brown color was seen in the 11th century at the early age of Goryeo celadon.

Physical Description:

This type of bowl was extensively produced throughout the 12th century. The outer wall is decorated with incised and raised deisgn of a two-tiered lotus petal. The glaze was oxidized, producing yellow-green color, but the application of glaze to the entire foot and the use of quartzite spurs indicate that this was produced as a high-quality item.
