{"product_id":"antique-korean-ceramics-98","title":"TEA BOWL, Katade, Joseon Dynasty（1392–1897CE）","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a Katade tea bowl from the late Joseon Dynasty. It features a slightly flared rim and a gently curving, plump form reminiscent of the shapes often seen in Goryeo tea bowls. The subtly irregular shape of the vessel fits comfortably in the hand, evoking the unpretentious craftsmanship of a seasoned potter. The foot is robustly carved, and the color of the iron-rich clay peeking through the foot's base creates a serene contrast with the soft, milky white glaze that envelops the entire bowl, resulting in a rustic yet powerful presence. The interior bears nine marks, a characteristic trace often found on late Joseon folk pottery, arising from the necessity of stacking vessels during firing in the kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe term \"Katade\" refers to vessels made from clay or stoneware that have been fired to a hard finish, a designation given by Japanese tea practitioners to the white-glazed wares of the Joseon period. This aesthetic of unpretentious beauty, which does not flaunt technique, stands in stark contrast to the ornate Chinese tea bowls, yet resonates deeply with the spirit of wabi-sabi. Particularly in the realm of tea ceremony, these bowls were cherished as \"Goryeo tea bowls.\" During that time, numerous commissioned pieces were brought over from the Japanese trading post in Busan. This bowl, however, possesses a pleasing demeanor as an ordinary utilitarian vessel, distinct from that lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50989182550297,"sku":null,"price":38700.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/files\/20250702-10268.jpg?v=1752152887","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-in\/products\/antique-korean-ceramics-98","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
