This early Joseon bowl was inspired by Goryeo white porcelain. It has a height of 7.6cm, mouth diameter of 17.5cm and base diameter of 6.2cm. It has a flared mouth and simple vine pattern, with two thick lines at the top and bottom as well as lotus flower inlay on the body. Greatly affected by the pottery techniques of Goryeo, this type of Joseon pottery was mainly produced during the mid-15th century in Gyeonsang-do Province.
