Description

Physical Description:

A ceramic lid for a matching bowl. Outfitted with a small, round and tapered handle.

This yellow, low-fired earthenware vessel consists of a body and a lid. It is made from fine clay mixed with a small amount of fine sand particles. Fine, incised horizontal lines run around the body. The gallery that supports the lid rests at a slight incline, and the vessel mouth slopes slightly inwards. The lower part of the body rapidly tapers inwards before joining the base, the center of which is indented. The lid features a low, flat knob. The round, upper part of the lid meets the lip at a slight angle.[Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2017) p. 45]
