About this artwork
A wide bowl like this example was especially suitable for drinking powdered tea shaved from a compressed tea cake, the most commonly enjoyed type during the Goryeo period. The inlaid image of weeping willow trees appears as a main decoration pattern on the inner wall of this bowl.
