Bowl with chrysanthemum designs. Stoneware, thrown, inlaid with black and white slip and celadon-glazed. This deep conical bowl has a small foot with low footring. The inside is inlaid in black and white slip with a classic- scroll border round the rim and four sprays of chrysanthemum round the sides. On the outside three similar sprays are inlaid, while the rest remains plain. The pale bluish-green jade-like glaze is evenly applied and glossy. There are three quartzite spur-marks on the footring. The bowl is slightly warped and the rim has been repaired in gold lacquer.

This type of bowl was used for tea. It was probably made around the 1150s when the change from incised to inlaid designs was taking place; compare a related bowl in the Seoul National Museum combining both techniques, illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu, vol.18, 1978, pls.164 and 165.
