Pottery: Unknown (Probably)
Cup stand with chrysanthemum and fish. Stoneware, moulded, carved and incised, and celadon-glazed. This stand is very similar to the previous one (cat. 51) in form, decoration and production technique. The glaze, of a pale bluish-green jade colour, is evenly applied and glossy. Inside the foot there are three marks from quartzite spurs which were set on a clay pad or support (tojimi). Also inside the foot is an incised inscription, Hyo-gwang, perhaps the name of the potter.

Among the Koryo celadons excavated from Yuch'on-ri are similar cup stands as well as fragments from a bottle and a vase, with the incised inscription Hyo-mun. The present cup, bearing the same first character may have been made by a potter from the same family and may thus also be a product of the Yuch'on-ri kilns.
Probably Yuch'on-ri ware.
