Lawley's inventory number: Cer.88.Note: The Korean potters started experimenting with iron brown or black painting as early as the 12th century influenced by the Chinese Cizhou ware. At the beginning of the Joseon period, painting with iron pigment was the distinguishing feature of pottery produced at the Keryong-san kilns. By the end of the 16th century to the end of the dynasty, local potteries across the country have produced white or grey porcelains and stonewares decorated with underglaze iron painting. Some of the finest brushwork is seen on jars and wine flasks decorated with sprays of bamboo, a favourited subject with scholar-artists and aristocrats in the mid-Joseon period, 16th-17th century.
