Explanation:
Cheonghwa porcelain was produced on the Korean Peninsula from the mid-15th century, and the official kiln of the Yi Dynasty (1392-1910) was located in what is now Gwangju City, Republic of Korea. Its activity temporarily declined due to the invasions of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Qing Dynasty from the end of the 16th century to the early 17th century, but in 1752, when the government kiln established itself in Bunwon-ri, much porcelain was produced there.Ikuhana porcelain from the Bunin period is characterized by its shining blue-white base, but this piece is thought to be from a slightly earlier period due to the pale color of the pattern and the subdued white color of the base.The mouth is very low, protruding immediately from the neck, and tapers from the bottom to the bottom of the body.Round patterns are arranged on all sides of the bulging shoulders, and each one has the characters ``Lucky,'' ``Ju,'' ``Gu,'' and ``之.''
