f similar shape as cat. 20, this vessel has an added in-
Olaid decoration of a chrysanthemum surrounded by a
double ring in the well. Except for a few gaps, it is completely
glazed, and scars from three silica chips are apparent on the
base. A large firing crack runs from the lip to the center of
the dish.
The prominent crack in this dish suggests this piece was a
kiln-waster, or a piece which became faulty during the fir-
ing process and would have been discarded after it was taken
21. from the kiln. If this were indeed the case, then this dish
Dish would have been discovered among other failed remnants of
Second half of 12th century, Goryeo ceramics at the kiln site.
