This is a whitel porcelain bowl with a flaring rim. The high iron content of clay and glaze used in white porcelain in the 17th century following the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 (Imjim Warran) resulted in dark color of body, as it appears in this bowl. The foot features traces of coarse sand supports, while there are four sand spur marks on the inner bottom, suggesting that the bowl was stacked among other bowls during firing. Glaze running had formed on the outer surface in some parts and oxidized glaze tinged the overall surface with light yellow.<br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2014) p.162]

It has a relatively wide mouth for its height and slightly surving sides. The glaze was degraded. It was incised with arabesque design and inlaid with white slip.<br /> &nbsp; <p>This is an inlaid buncheong bowl which is thought to have been excavated from a pit grave of early Joseon period. The inner base is inlaid with two concentric circles encircled by a yeoui-head band, and the inner wall is decorated with baoxianghua scrolls. In the middle of the outer wall is inlaid with three to four horizontal lines.
