Early Joseon Celadon Bowl

Product Description

I am clearing out my entire collection due to personal circumstances Detailed description of Joseon Celadon Tea Bowl 📌 Basic Overview - Official Name: Early Joseon Celadon Tea Bowl (Dawan) / Celadon Bowl - Estimated Period: Early to Mid-Joseon Dynasty (15th century to early 16th century) - Production: Appears to be folk ceramics produced in local kilns - Usage: Primarily used as tableware for rice or soup, or as a tea bowl for drinking tea 🏺 Shape and Structure - Rim: The mouth flares out gently, and the lip area is relatively thin and naturally finished - Walls: A typical early Joseon tea bowl shape that is wide at the top and gradually narrows toward the bottom. Clear concentric throwing marks made by a potter's wheel are visible on both the inside and outside - Bottom: The interior bottom is relatively flat, showing traces of slightly irregular glaze runoff and small bubble marks - Foot: The foot is low and sturdy, with thick sand supports attached to the edge of the bottom. This is a trace of the traditional production method where it was placed directly on sand during kiln firing 🪨 Material and Glaze - Clay Body: Grayish clay was used, and the texture feels natural as the refinement level is not very high - Glaze: A celadon glaze in shades of grayish-green or grayish-blue is applied throughout. The glaze thickness is relatively thin with uneven parts, giving it a strong handmade feel - Surface: Faint micro-cracks (crazing) appear on the glaze surface, and some small black dots and bubble marks are visible. These are natural characteristics formed by the production environment of that time 📖 Historical Characteristics - Early Joseon Celadon: A period that inherited the tradition of Goryeo Celadon but was gradually shifting toward white porcelain; celadon-type wares were still widely produced in local kilns - Production Technique: The use of sand supports, the presence of throwing marks, and the relatively simple shape are typical characteristics of 15th-century local kiln ceramics - Focus on Practicality: Characterized by a simple, unadorned design and a sturdy structure, it was widely used as daily necessities for common people 🔍 Condition and Value Reference - Preservation State: The overall shape is intact, and no major cracks or signs of restoration are visible. There appear to be no distinct defects on the rim edge either - Sand Supports: The appearance of the sand firmly attached to the bottom of the foot is also evidence of natural preservation over a long period Height: 4 Width: 10 Foot Width: 4.5 Small Tea Bowl If you have any further questions, please ask specifically! 😊
