About the Item

A ceramic stem bowl with high cylindrical pedestal foot in white glaze from Korea, circa 18 centuries of late Joseon Dynasty. By shape, this piece appears to be a ceremonial vessel that was used to make offerings on the altar. Although without inscription, we can't rule out that it could be a household item for occasions that were less formal, such as a private shrine in the household or even daily use for presenting foods. During Joseon dynasty, the social morals were largely centered on the principles of Confucianism that originated from China. Many ritual ceramic wares were produced for rituals and worships on all level of the society. The ware was often modeled after the archaic bronze ware that elevated them from the aesthetic of daily use pieces. High foot dish like this were made in both round and square shape to suite different use but they were all distinguished with the inscription for their exclusive ceremonial purpose. Of elegant archaistic form and harmonious proportion, this stem bowl is potted heavily with thick walls covered with a white glaze with a tint of celadon. It shows overall wear and mellow patina, particularly in the bottom of the well. The simplicity of this piece conveys a deep appreciation of humbleness and exemplifies a vigorous and restrained aesthetic at the time. The base rim is not glazed and reveals a coarse sandy clay and some kiln grits.
