A Buncheong ware teabowl fired in the early Joseon dynasty. It is commonly known as “Dumbung” in Korea and “Muji Hakeme” or “Muan Kohiki” in Japan, referring to the dipping technique used to coat the front face in slip. The vessel forms an elegantly flared profile with a bamboo-joint foot. A glassy transparent glaze imparts a clear, luminous sheen, while the interior bears Hima (unglazed spots) and tasteful stains from prolonged use. Muji-hakeme bowls of such rich surface character and ideal dimensions for the tea ceremony are rare, embodying the finest qualities of buncheong ware.

Minor glaze flakings are visible along the rim and exterior, though these show no signs of worsening with tea usage. Otherwise, the bowl is generally in good condition. It is accompanied by a drawstring pouch and a wooden box labelled “Joseon Muan Kohiki Chawan.”
