Inlaid Celadon Bowl (Buncheong or Goryeo Style)

This is a small, low-profile ceramic bowl crafted from a dense clay body with an aged, weathered surface. The piece features a characteristic flared rim and a tapered body resting on a narrow footring. The exterior is decorated with traditional incised or impressed patterns, including a band of geometric linework near the rim and stylized petal or 'raindrop' motifs encircling the lower half. The coloration is a muted, earthy grey with hints of greenish-blue consistent with celadon glazes that have undergone significant surface degradation or burial wear. The texture is rough and matte, showing substantial encrustations, mineral deposits, and ochre-colored oxidation across the exterior surface, which suggests a significant period of time spent in a subterranean environment. While the user identifies the age as 50 years, the aesthetic and physical weathering strongly mimic Buncheong or late Goryeo-period Korean ceramics, making it either a genuine antique or a highly distressed decorative piece. Small chips and abrasions are visible along the foot and rim, contributing to a heavily patinated appearance. The craftsmanship shows intentionality in the symmetry of the incised bands, though the current condition obscures the original smoothness of the glaze.
