PROVENANCE

---

fun fact: 
As early as the seventh century, the practice of drinking tea and wine became an important part of elite leisure culture in Korea.

digital description: 
A wide bowl like this example was especially suitable for drinking powdered tea shaved from a compressed tea cake, the most commonly enjoyed type during the Goryeo period. The image of flying parrots incised on the inner wall of this tea bowl must have made the moment of drinking tea more enjoyable and even magical.

wall description: 
This celadon tea or soup bowl was used by the royal or aristocratic class in the Goryeo period. The inside is incised with three flying birds that, because of their long chins, are assigned to the parrot design by Korean scholars.
