East Asia, Korea, Three Kingdoms period, Silla Kingdom, ca. 5th to 6th century CE. An elegant footed gray stoneware bowl covered with ash glaze created as a result of significant technological advances in Korean pottery production (see more on this below), the form presenting a deep rounded bowl with a carinated rim supported by a concave pedestal foot. The exterior walls are finely decorated with double incised bands followed by a wide register of repeated impressed bands of inverted chevron motifs that conjure the heads of wheat plants. The foot presents four attractive teardrop shaped perforations at the upper end. Although possibly used in a domestic setting, wessels of this type with a pedestal base are usually found in tombs suggesting that such vessels were created for ceremonial offerings of food to the deceased. Size: 8.75" in diameter x 5.5" H (22.2 cm x 14 cm)
According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art curatorial team, "With the exception of Chinese stoneware, the Korean stoneware (kyongjil t'ogi) of the Three Kingdoms period is the earliest known high-fired ware in the world, requiring kiln temperatures in excess of 1000°C. These wares were produced in a wood-fired climbing kiln, a tunnel-shaped structure typically built up the side of a hill. This closed-kiln design, in contrast to the earlier open or semi-open kiln, produces intense and steady heat and allows control of the oxygen flow into the firing chamber. The characteristic gray color of Three Kingdoms stoneware is the result of the reduction of oxygen in the chamber. Unlike the soft, low-fired earthenware (wajil t'ogi) of earlier periods, stoneware is hard, dense, and impervious to liquids."
