This earthenware with two handles may have been used for cooking.Description
The form of this early earthenware pot corresponds rather closely to the red earthenware vessel with horn-shaped handles (1997.186) nearby. The attractive, gritty fabric of the clay body, the sooty black firing marks as well as the folded and hand-crimped rim help clarify the evolution of this functional shape in early Korean ceramic history.- Mrs. Keum Ja Kang1981–1999(Kang Collection, New York, NY, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)June 7, 1999–The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
