As a celadon bowl that dates back to the Goryeo Period, it has height of 6.9 cm, mouth diameter of 16.6 cm, and base diameter of 4 cm. The bowl is almost as flat as a horizontal plane from its base to the lip. There is a band of scroll design around the inner lip of the bowl. The space below the band is filled with engraved lotus leaves, with a small circle engraved on the bottom. Experts believe that these detailed and magnificently engraved designs are influenced by Chinese pottery. There is no decoration on the outer side of the bowl, except for the chrysanthemum designs on four different places. The chrysanthemums are inlaid in white, looking as if they are stamped. The leaves are expressed in black, creating a clear, harmonious contrast of black and white. Its entire surface is coated with a fine layer of translucent glaze. As a rare example of a single piece with both engraving and inlaid designs, it also provides valuable information in understanding the early development of Goryeo celadon ware.
