Bio:
Korean porcelain of the 18th and 19th centuries reflects a balance of functionality and refined simplicity. The blue underglaze, often inspired by Chinese prototypes, was executed in Korea with a more restrained and stylized expression. Bowls like these were produced both for daily use and for export, embodying the Joseon dynasty’s ceramic tradition with its focus on pure forms and understated decoration.
