Subject Matter:
It was probably used for tea ceremony.

It has large-mouth and the wall slants toward the bottom in an almost straight line. It was deformed during firing.
The inner and outer surfaces of this bowl are brushed with white slip. Traces of refractory spurs remain in five places on the inner base and the foot. The foot is glazed on the rim as well. This is a low-grade object with many iron-brown spots on both its inner and outer surfaces. A note from collector is adhered to the reverse side of the bowl, and it reads, “19629, corée, Hakéme,” “朝鮮刷毛目, 三百年.”
