Celadon Inlaid inscribed "‘王’" Cup Stand

The Celadon Cup Stand with Inlaid Inscription '王' (King), held at the Gangjin Celadon Museum, is a celadon piece of very fine quality bearing the character 王 (king) inlaid in black. It was recovered from the vicinity of Kiln Site No. 41 at Sadang-ri, part of the Gangjin Goryeo celadon kiln sites, and is academically valuable as important evidence that celadon for royal use was fired in the Daegu-myeon area of Gangjin. It originally formed a set together with a cup, of which only the stand now survives. Nevertheless, the inscription allows its special use to be inferred, making it important material for explaining the standing of Gangjin celadon.
