Fragments C.299, 302, 309 and 310-1984 All these fragments are made of fairly coarse porcelain and usually have a bluish-white glaze. They have a thick 'bamboo-node' foot which is cut at a slant, and a pointed recessed base, which are both unglazed and tend to fire an orange colour. They were fired on clay supports, sometimes in stacks; this fragment (302) has traces of four body-clay supports (t'aet'o pijimnun) inside in the centre.
This type of porcelain seems to have been made during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, mainly for the ruling class and for government offices. After that time the glazes were generally more greyish and the pieces were fired on coarse sandy supports. Kilns making such pieces were Usan-ri, Kwanum-ri, Toma-ri, Ponch'on-ri and Mugap-ri.
