This representative Goryeo cup sits on a stand with wide props and legs. Its clean jade color and absence of decoration create an impression of tidiness. Its seemingly simple form betrays highly mature production skills. It is coated with a relatively thick layer of greenish-gray glaze to produce a surface that is mildly glossy with no fine cracks. A quartz sand support was used under the legs and stand during their production.
