White Porcelain Bowl with Inlaid Lotus and Scroll Design

An early Joseon white porcelain bowl carrying on the tradition of Goryeo white porcelain, 7.6 cm high, 17.5 cm across the mouth and 6.2 cm across the foot. The body has a texture like plaster and thin walls. The rim turns slightly outward, and a simplified scroll runs round the upper inside. On the outside, double bands run round the top and bottom, with a lotus scroll between them in inlay. Inlaid white porcelain of this kind was made mainly around the mid-fifteenth century, at kilns in Gyeongsang and a few other provinces that carried on Goryeo methods.
