    "description": "This bowl displays an inlay technique called sanggam that was invented by Korean potters in the early 12th century. Potters carved the design of phoenixes and scrolling peonies into the surface of the bowl and then filled in the carved areas with different colors of slip (watery clay). White clay remains white after firing, while red ocher turns dark brown or black. After one firing, the blue-green glaze was applied, and the bowl was fired again.",
