This bowl, which has a standing-type mouth, is of curvaceous and relatively large in stature. There is an almost invisible incised line on the rim. The lustrous bluish light-green glaze applied to the bowl helps to create the refined aura of this work.


직립直立형 구연에, 내면이 곡면을 이루는 발이다. 내저원각內底圓刻이 없고 운두가 높다. 구연 안쪽 바로 아래에 한 줄의 음각선을 돌렸는데 거의 드러나지 않는다. 푸른빛을 머금은 담록색의 유약은 광택이 뛰어나고 은은한 맛을 자아낸다. 굽 안바닥까지 전면 시유하였으며, 세 곳에 규석을 받쳐서 번조燔造하였다.
