The Korean potter Yoon Kwang-cho has chosen to work in remote places, far from the city bustle. He is known for the meditative, tranquil qualities of his work, and has been widely exhibited in his native country and beyond. The period from 1400-1600 was when a type of stoneware was produced in Korea which was covered in liquid clay to produce a creamy colour. Known as punchong (or buncheong) ware, this style of ceramic is unique to Korea and since the 20th century has enjoyed a re-evaluation among potters, including Yun, who admires its unforced beauty. The teapot, cups and bowl form a group of vessels used in preparing tea. The bowl is of a warm reddish clay with creamy yellow slip in painted punchong style.
