This celadon bowl bears the inscription “Sojeon” (燒錢). It is presumed to have been used in the Sojeonsaek, a government office in charge of managing diverse matters related to Taoist rituals during the Goryeo Period. The Chinese characters are inscribed in black, and there is a lightning design inscribed above them.
