Description

The bowl has the shape of a flower with twelve petals. It is glazed in blue-green glazed Seladon. Inside the color is thicker applied and darker on the transition from the leaves to the bottom. Koryo-Seladon is special because of the blue-green glaze and the graceful elegance of their shape as great achievement in the Korean art. [1] On the bottom are some rests of burning supports.
