PROVENANCE

---

fun fact:
The crackle pattern that appears all over this bowl was caused by a thermal expansion mismatch between the body and the glaze.

digital description:
As early as the seventh century, the practice of drinking tea and wine became an important part of elite culture in Korea. Elites of the Goryeo period commissioned a variety of types of utensils and vessels including this large bowl paired with a shallow saucer, to make their drinking experience more exciting.
