Goryeo Celadon Bowl
A celadon bowl fired in the Gijang (current Busan) area during the Goryeo period. Three spur marks remain on the interior, and it has a dark, murky greenish-brown colour that is clearly different from the famous Goryeo celadons from Gangjin and Buan.
When Goryeo was founded in 918 and the capital was moved to Kaesong the following year, the Busan area became a remote region. Politically marginalised, there was no distribution of high-quality celadon, and it is assumed that this type of coarse celadon was fired to meet the demand of local powers. Not only is the glazing, but the high base and deep, bowl-shaped body are rare for Goryeo celadon, and it conveys the diversity of production methods at local kilns at the time.
A small chip and a short hairline can be seen on the rim. The footring is uneven, but there are no noticeable defects other that. Come with a box.
