| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
This dish is divided by inlaid slip into a large section of squares enclosing stamped flower-heads, and two smaller areas of groups of lines forming wavy-edged sections. The body colour is grey. It was made by the contemporary Korean potter Yi Chông-do (born 1953) who graduated from Hong-ik University, after which he studied in Japan. As in this bowl, he frequently decorates surfaces with repeating chrysanthemum flowers, recalling the stamped decoration on punch'ong ceramics of the 15th and 16th centuries. He also produces interesting contrasts of texture when he alternates areas of stamped or inlaid slip decoration with patches of brushed or painted slip.
