Vessel with High Pedestal
1 of 2
Object Label
Gaya ceramics are known for their high-fired dark gray stoneware. During this time, Korea was the second most important producer of high-fired stoneware after China. The form of a trumpet-shaped bowl set on a high pedestal alludes to its function either as a food vessel or as a stand for a round-bottomed jar.
