So apparently, this Korean, early Choson, method of decorating the surface was called "Mishima" in Japan, and many Mishima wares were produced in Japan. However, some items labeled as "Mishima" by Japanese curators were from Korea (as acknowledged by the same Japanese curators).
This is good to know. thank you! i had found in one of the books on reserve something similar to this bowl. After looking I thought that it was punch'ong ware glazed and also incised with a comb (comb technique was most common in Gaya though). I will look at some sites to see what i can find as well.
This punch’ong bowl is a bowl that was thrown on a potter’s wheel, made into stoneware, and glazed with a clear coat of glaze. The bowl was most likely used to serve food like rice. The mouth of the bowl has four lines incised in it and then a band of a wavy line. This ban of wave was created by a comb and often called dotted lines. Although this bowl is from the Choson period, the wavy design was most commonly used during the Gaya period (5th century). Punch’ong ware and this wavy design show that, during the Choson, classical tradition is nationally important and highly elegant.
okay so here is after corrected.... The potter made this stoneware punch’ong bowl on a potter’s wheel, covered it with white slip, and glazed it with a clear coat. The bowl originally held food, primarily rice. The interior mouth of the bowl has four incised lines and a band of wavy lines created by a comb, each inlaid with white slip. Although this bowl dates from the Choson period, potters of the much earlier Gaya kingdom (5th century) also used the combed wave designs. The recurrence of these patterns in the Choson period suggests that potters looked to classical tradition for inspiration.
