Pottery: Unknown
Rice bowl and cover of chrysanthemum shape. Porcelain, moulded, shaped, inscribed in cobalt-blue, and glazed. This rice bowl is of deep rounded form, the cover has a flat top and sloping sides. Both bowl and cover are moulded in narrow lobes and the lip of the bowl is carved correspondingly in floral shape. The top of the cover and the centre of the bowl are inscribed in underglaze-blue with the character pok ("happiness") in seal script. The glaze is of pale bluish tone; it has been wiped away inside the cover which was fired on a circular support. The footring of the bowl shows traces of a fine sandy support.

This bowl was probably used for cooked rice. Its satisfying shape, pale bluish glaze and its fine pleated pattern all harmonise well and stand in the nineteenth-century tradition of the Punwon-ri kilns.
