Tea drinking was part of the daily routine in the Goryeo court. Shallow ceramic bowls placed on matching stands were used to serve the tea, which was prepared in the bowl by whisking powdered green leaves with hot water. This bowl's luminous dark color, intended to complement the color of the tea, is produced by a coating of iron-rich slip (liquid clay) beneath a green glaze.
