and bowls for holding fish, vegetables, etc., and bowls for rice, 
stew and water. They are all of a heavy porcelain, covered 
with a patchy glaze of greenish hue. 
The pottery in common use in Korea at the present time 
may be briefly described as consisting of three kinds. The 
finest is of white, pale buff, or bluish porcelain, sometimes 
decorated in blue and with a high glaze. This consists of 
dishes, bowls and bottles for table use, and also wash-basins. 
The second c}uality is a pale-yellow ware, glazed, and chiefly 
made up as bowls, undecorated, and used by the middle 
class. 
The third kind, which is used by the poorer classes, is 
made of dark brown or reddish earth, glazed inside and out- 
side. It has little or no decoration except a wayy'^ line pro- 
duced by wiping off the glaze, which permits the Hghter under- 
surface to show through.
