<p>This bowl is typical of early-Goryeo celadon in terms of shape and pattern. Similar examples have been excavated from sedimentary layers from the Kiln no. 10 at Yongun-ri, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do. The entire inner wall is decorated with chrysanthemum sprays incised in fine lines. Chrysanthemum spray design is commonly found in Goryeo celadon produced between the 10th and the 11th centuries along with the motifs of chrysanthemum, scroll, cloud, parrot, and wave. The design is resemblent to those found in Yue ware, but the clay and glaze were sintered better and the glaze was exquisitely fused to turn into the beautiful color without crackles. Six refractory spurs were used to support the bowl during firing. The bowl was restored after a breakage into two halves.<br /> [<em>Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art </em>(2014) p.92]</p> <br /> Stoneware bowl with celadon glaze. The bowl is decorated by an incised line stretching parallel to the rim, bounding a chrysanthemum design below.

It has a flat base and straight body. The body is divided with incised lines and each section is embellished with a simple wave design. A pair of D-shaped handles is attached to the body. Its lid features a hemispheric body surmounted by a button-shaped knob.<br /> <br /> This is a set consisting of a dark gray, high-fired stoneware bowl and its lid. The lid is crowned with a button-shaped knob at its center, which is encircled by two thinly incised lines drawn by a multitooth comb. These lines divide the lid&rsquo;s surface into inner and outer sections, to both of which wave designs have been applied. On each side of the bowl, a long, narrow, band-shaped handle is attached vertically and symmetrically. The base of the bowl is flat, while the part where the base and body of the bowl meet is rounded. The bowl gradually flares upwards. Three broad raised bands surround three parts of the body. A wave design is rendered between each band. Faint traces of paddled patterns are visible on parts of the base. <p>

It has wide flared bowl supported by a little flared pedestal foot. Three raised band lines encircle the middle of the bowl. The foot which is separated into 3 parts and has a lot of triangular holes gives the whole bowl stability. There is a tiny wave design on the surface of the bowl and foot<br /> <br /> This is a gray, bowl-shaped, high-fired stoneware vessel stand. The bowl-shaped body flares widely until it spreads horizontally to reach the round rim with grooves. The body is divided by three raised bands into four sections, each of which features a wave design rendered using a multi-tooth comb. The pedestal is divided into five sections by horizontal ridges. Each of the three central sections features four triangular perforations; the lower two of these three central sections are also decorated with wave designs between the perforations. The edge of the pedestal base is narrow and grooved. The inner surfaces of the bowl-shaped body and pedestal show traces of a round inner support anvil that was used

<p>This bowl is an example of an early celadon influenced by Chinese Yue ware. Similar vessels have been excavated from sedimentary layers of the Kiln no. 10 at Yongun-ri, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do. The design, which features two parrots with their wings spread around the bowl&rsquo;s inner wall, is also similar to the design found in Yue ware. This piece counts as medium quality ware, since its glaze is poorly fused. Refractory spurs are stuck around the rim, while the glaze has flowed downwards. There are six refractory spur marks on the shallow foot.<br /> [<em>Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art</em> (2014) p.90]</p> Stoneware teabowl with celadon glaze. A pair of parrots is incised on he inside of the bowl, as well as a line that runs slightly below and parallel to the rim.

Spherical stoneware jar with an elongated neck and wide flaring mouth. Two indented bands stretch across the base of the neck and repeat halfway up the neck as it flares outward.<br /> <br /> This is a dark grayish brown, long-necked, high-fired stoneware jar with a wide mouth. Its neck splays diagonally upwards before spreading horizontally just below the mouth and flaring out upwards once again. Two wide, shallow lines forming a raised band mark the boundary where the neck and body meet. A similar type of raised band surrounds the upper-middle part of the neck. The body is widest at its middle part. Its outer surface shows faint traces of having been rendered with a paddled pattern, as well as water smoothing marks in a lateral direction. The base is round and contains clear traces of rotation and water smoothing. The inner surface of the neck shows irregular and rough traces of the supporting anvil (used during the paddling process) in a vertical direction, as well as rotation and water smoothing marks.

Stoneware lotus-shaped cup and stand with celadon glaze. The cup is shaped in the style of a ten-lobed lotus blossom. On each lobe lies lightly incised chrysanthemum decoration. The cup rests on a pedestal in the design of an inverted lotus flower, which rises from the dish-like base of the stand, mounted on a fluted foot. <p>This is a flower-shaped cup and stand which offers a good demonstration of the formal splendor of 12th century Goryeo celadon despite yellow-borwn coloration in places. Both the cup and stand have ten lobes and they were produced using molds. On each of the ten lotus petals of the cup and stand is incised a chrysanthemum, and another chrysanthemum design is incised on the upper part of the stand where the cup rests. Around the pedestal on where the cup sits is a band of inverted lotus petals. Each foot of the cup and stand has refractory spur marks.<br /> [<em>Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art</em> (2014) p.125]<br /> &nbsp;</p>
