Bowl decorated with peonies
Not on view
The five peonies on this bowl, each rendered within a roundel, are inlaid in white and black slip, while the surrounding scrolling pattern is achieved through the reverse-inlay method, where the background, rather than the design, is carved out and filled with slip. This combination of techniques creates a dramatic effect unique to Goryeo celadon.
