<p>This olive-brown colored dish is of the finest quality, made from carefully selected clay and glaze. This dish provides a good illustration of the forms and production standards of celadon from the first half of the Goryeo period. The walls are thick, but the use of fine clay has produced a robust texture. The glaze was thinly applied, thus yielding opaque and smooth surface, similar to that of the 10th century Chinese Yue celadon. Its rim is shaped as six flower petals and repaired in three parts. Many vessels in this form were produced around Yongun-ri, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do.<br /> [<em>Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art</em> (2014) p.</p> <br /> An olive-brown dish with thick walls and a robust texture.
