This item is a Korean Buncheong style tea bowl, or chawan, featuring traditional iron-painted decoration.
It is crafted using stoneware, utilizing a slip-coating technique characteristic of the Buncheong tradition.
The vessel showcases stylized, painted motifs in iron pigment, often depicting abstract or scrolling designs.
While similar in form to Japanese Karatsu ware tea bowls, this specific style is highly collectible and revered for its rustic aesthetic.

This is a very nice stoneware bowl made in Vietnam probably around the 15th c - 16th c although it may be a little earlier. The decoration is in underglaze blue which looks black in places. There is a scrolling border on the outside and inner rim and a floral design to the centre. It may well have been recovered from a shipwreck but I can't be certain.
The condition is good but as you can see it has suffered some production faults such as a glaze run to the interior which has left some streaks and a pool in the centre partially obscuring the decoration. The glaze, which has not covered the bowl entirely, is beautifully crackled but has flaked in a few places, and some areas are stained. There is a rough area on the side of the foot, under the glaze, which is fingertip sized and possibly caused by where it was held when dipped in the glaze; an adjacent indentation might be the impression of the finger nail. please let me know if you need more photos. The interior of the base has been coated in a brown slip.
Regarding the photos, it was quite hard to catch the colour correctly, it is more of a warm oatmeal colour. The dimensions are variable as this is another piece with slightly undulating rims (it wobbles a little) but approximately, it is at most 6.3 cms high and 14.3 cms in diameter. It weighs 275 g.
