PROVENANCE

fun fact: 
Kangjin and Buan kilns in Jeolla province were the two major production centers for celadon wares during the Goryeo period (918-1392).

digital description: 
As early as the seventh century, the practice of drinking tea and wine became an important part of elite leisure culture in Korea. 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. A large bloomed peony in relief on the inside of this tea bowl may have made the moment of drinking tea more enjoyable.
