Physical Description

This is an undecorated bowl with diagonally flaring out sides. On the outer base and rim of the foot remain traces of refractory spur marks. The bowl was oxidized in the kiln, producing a green-brown hue, while the interior contains large bubbles. The color of its glaze is similar to that of other vessels excavated from sedimentary layers of refuse pile at celadon kilns in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.
