Bowls of this kind were used for tea or wine, and were occasionally furnished with a cover. The aesthetic ideals embodied in this cup are those that inform the celadons made in kiln no.7 at Sadang-ri, Kangjin-gun, South Cholla province during the reign of King Injong (1122-46).
Probably Sadang-ri ware.
