Tea Bowl
Initial production of cheongja ceramics like this tea bowl was closely related to Buddhism and tea culture. Both became a part of people’s daily lives in Korea after their introduction via China in the 4th century. Touted as an aid for wakefulness in meditation, monks and laypeople alike also used tea as offerings to ancestors and to the Buddha in temples.
