![Stoneware bowl with stamped rope-curtain design covered by a white slip and colorless glaze. A stylized inlaid chrysanthemum blossom decorates the center of the bowl, surrounded by a band of petals.<br />
<br />
This buncheong bowl with stamped design was maily supplied to government offices in the 15th century. It is decorated with a lotus flower on the inner base surrounded by lotus petals, butterflies and rows of dots on the inner wall. The outer wall, too, is filled with rows of dots. It was poorly sintered and the glaze applied to the lower part of the body is not melted in parts. The foot is not glazed and exposes the clay body.<br />

![Stoneware tea bowl with slightly flaring lip, white slip hakame design and colorless glaze.<br />
<br />
The inner and outer surfaces of this buncheong bowl have been brushed with white slip. Its inner base retains traces of seven spurs, while the uneven application of glaze has exposed the unglazed body. The glaze itself was fairly well fused. The bowl is intact without damage.<br />

![<p>This bowl exemplifies early-tenth century celadon forms influenced by Chinese Yue ware. It has a halo-shaped foot (haemurigup), a characteristic of Yue ware. It is a high-quality celadon made from fine clay, coated by highly transparent glaze. Surface is plain while displaying crackles on its inner surface and parts of its outer surface. Many similar vessels were excavated from the Kilns no. 9 and no. 10 at Yongun-ri, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do. Refractory spur marks created during firing remain in five places on the rim of the foot.<br />

From the eighth century on, tea drinking was firmly established as an important Chinese social custom. The tea was taken in the form of a powder that was whisked into a frothy brew with hot water in elegant conical ceramic bowl. Initially, white wares from Yue, Xing, and Ding kilns were favored. but later black tea bowls from Jian, Cizhou, Jizhou, and Ding kilns became the color of choice.
Song society, lead by cultured emperors like Huizong (r. 1101-26) and Gaozong (r.1127-63), did not seek power and empire like the previous dynasty of Tang, but instead sought learning and contemplation surrounded by refined and elegant daily objects. The pottery industry responded by producing immaculate white wares that could replace silver as luxury tableware. By the eleventh century, Ding had become firmly established as the great white ware of the north, just as the great white ware of the south, qingbai (“clear-white”) ware was getting started at the kilns of Jingdezhen in Jiangsu province. Chinese connoisseurs of the time praised the color and feel of qingbai tea bowls as being like “icy jade” and the ware went on to make Jingdezhen the porcelain capital of the world from the tenth to fourteenth centuries.
