Historical records suggest King Sejo commanded the Ministry of Finance, stating, \"The Crown Prince's Palace should not use white porcelain but should instead produce and offer cheongsagi.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile it remains unclear whether this 'cheongsagi' refers to buncheong ware or 'Joseon celadon' (celadon glaze applied to white porcelain clay), official kilns did produce small quantities of celadon. These were likely vessels for the Crown Prince's Palace (Donggung).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Gyeongguk Daejeon Juhae\" (Commentary on the National Code) states, \"The King's royal table uses white porcelain, while the Crown Prince's Palace uses blue-green ware.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe interior base features a slightly raised clay support from firing, which is advantageous for whisking matcha. The firing support marks are also visible on the foot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis vessel exhibits a subtle blush of 'honghwa' (reddish discoloration) near the outer rim, and the irregular flow of the glaze adds to its aesthetic appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe foot and its surrounding area are in their original state, and the contrast between the glazed surface and the clay color is elegantly striking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a minuscule amount of kiln glaze within the snail-shell-like depression of the foot's interior, but its shallow depth poses no issues for durability or use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Height approx. 8.5 cm, Diameter 18.2 cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Perfectly intact with no repairs.\u003cbr\u003e(Stand not included)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e조선 초기 백자발이다.\u003cbr\u003e내벽에서 내저로 파르스름하게 흘러내린 유액에 \u003cbr\u003e빙렬까지 더해 자연스런 아름다움이 두드러지는 기물이다.\u003cbr\u003e기벽을 타고 흘러내린 두툼한 푸른 빛 유액은\u003cbr\u003e조선 세조가 언급한 '청사기'를 떠올리게 하는데,\u003cbr\u003e세조는 호조에 \"동궁에서는 백사기를 쓰지 말고,\u003cbr\u003e청사기를 구워 바치게 하라\"고 전교(명령)하였다고 전한다.\u003cbr\u003e이 '청사기'가 분청사기를 말하는 것인지, 아니면\u003cbr\u003e백자 태토에 청자 유액을 시유한 '조선청자'를 말하는 것인지\u003cbr\u003e정확히 알 수는 없으나, 관요에서도 소량의 청자를 만들었으니, \u003cbr\u003e이는 세자가 활동하는 동궁(東宮)에 쓸 그릇이었다. \u003cbr\u003e경국대전주해에는 “임금의 수라상에는 백자기를 쓰고\u003cbr\u003e동궁에서는 청기를 쓴다”고 적혀있다. ......\u003cbr\u003e내저에는 포개 구운 태토빚음 받침이 살짝 솟아 있어\u003cbr\u003e말차 제조에 유리하고,\u003cbr\u003e굽에도 태토빚음 받침을 떼어낸 흔적이 남아있는 이 기물은\u003cbr\u003e외벽 구연부 인근에 은은한 홍화가 피어나고 있을 뿐 아니라\u003cbr\u003e불규칙한 유액의 흐름도 미감을 더하고 있다.\u003cbr\u003e굽과 그 주위는 노태상태로 \u003cbr\u003e유액이 시유된 부분과 태토 색이 대비되는 점도 멋스럽다.\u003cbr\u003e굽 내저의 달팽이관 안에 미세 가마유가 있으나\u003cbr\u003e깊이가 얕아 내구성과 사용에 전혀 문제가 되지 않는다.\u003cbr\u003e크기는 높이 약 8.5, 입지름 18.2 cm이고\u003cbr\u003e상태는 유수리 없이 완전하다.\u003cbr\u003e(받침대 불포함)","brand":"bunjang_general","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48376268095737,"sku":"BJ-405423128","price":185.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/2591\/4617\/files\/405423128_1_1778259376_w856.webp?v=1778270276","url":"https:\/\/hallyusuperstore.com\/products\/early-joseon-dynasty-white-porcelain-bowl-405423128","provider":"HALLYUSUPERSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
