A white porcelain tea bowl, a work from the Joseon dynasty (circa 1825). Inheriting the traditions of Goryeo and Joseon, this bowl exudes a simple yet serene beauty. Sand adheres to the foot and the inner bottom, a testament to the firing techniques of the time and a mark of authenticity. To prevent the vessels from sticking together in the kiln, they were fired directly on refractory sand. This traditional method is rarely seen today, and the natural texture and minor imperfections are proof of its authenticity. It is an original work from approximately 200 years ago and remains in usable condition. As an antique, there are minor changes due to aging, but these are also part of its charm. ⚠️ Not suitable for dishwashers or microwaves. Avoid strong impacts and sudden temperature changes. By handling it with care, you can preserve its beauty and historical value for a long time.
