Additional Information Image was scanned from (faded) color slide. Note: "The House of Yi, also called the Korean Imperial Household, was the household of the Joseon Dynasty (1392 - 1897) and Korean Empire (1897-1910), consisting of the descendants of the Yi Seong-gye, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty."--Wikipedia. Note: "...Buncheong ware ("gray-green ceramics decorated with powder") is a loose group of ceramics with a relatively coarse gray body embellished in various fashion with white slip, and covered in green-tinted semi-translucent glaze. Both the raw materials and the decorative vocabulary of buncheong ware owe much to the famed celadon tradition of the preceding Goryeo dynasty (918-1392). The clay and glaze of buncheong are essentially similar to those of celadon but less processed and refined. Buncheong's main decorative mode-the use of white slip under the glaze-adapts the inlay technique polished and popularized by the Goryeo potters. Indeed, it is important to recognize that buncheong ware evolved from a long-established tradition as a result of changes in patronage, manufacturing pattern, and aesthetic taste. Yet there is no mistaking the distinctive style of buncheong ware. If Goryeo celadon embodies classical elegance, buncheong ware represents experimental spirit."--Joseon Buncheong Ware: Between Celadon and Porcelain, The Metropolitan Museum of Art website.
