Bowl with Willow and Reed Design, 14th century, Korea, Goryeo dynasty (918–1392). Pottery. Diameter: 19.1 cm ; Overall: 8.1 cm. Gift of John L. Severance 1921.672.

 

 

This bowl with a lightly bent inward rim possibly takes the shape of an alms bowl by Buddhist monks.
A wide bowl like this example was especially suitable for drinking powdered tea shaved from a compressed tea cake, the most commonly enjoyed type during the Goryeo period. The inlaid image of weeping willow trees appears as a main decoration pattern on the inner wall of this bowl.
