This shallow celadon tea bowl from the 12th century Goryeo Dynasty presents a warm greyish-green glaze with subtle crackle patterns that enhance its richly expressive surface, and its stable, low form exemplifies both functional elegance and aesthetic grace as a tea vessel; the soft golden speckles caused by glaze pooling and the spontaneous glaze variation at the center reflect its dignified aging through use, while the outer surface, showing a fine contrast between the slightly coarse clay body and translucent glaze, embodies the technical and artistic maturity of Korean celadon ceramics of the period, and the presence of kiln grit within the foot ring serves as tangible evidence of the saggar-firing technique of the era, with a visible kintsugi restoration on the rim indicating careful preservation and reverence by past owners—altogether, this piece stands out as a superb artifact of both utilitarian and artistic significance with excellent condition and patina.
