Subject Matter
Gray-blue, unpolished earthenware objects were made in the Gyeongsang-do region during the Silla period, and they are generally referred to as Silla earthenware. Silla earthenware was first made mainly in the Gyeongju and Gyeongsang-do regions, but as Silla expanded its sovereign territory, the art of Silla earthenware manufacture spread to other areas. The color of Silla earthenware is mostly black, gray-black or gray-blue. The surface of that is very hard and solid. The fundamental shapes are Jar with the neck and footed bowl.
