With the discovery of the 'Sinan' wreck, a Chinese ship probably destined for Japan sometime around 1323 CE and discovered off the Korean coast in 1975, with a cargo that included similar bowls, it is most likely that this ceramic type was made for both local use and export. See Relics Salvaged from the Seabed off Sinan, Materials I, Seoul, 1985, pl. 15 top and bottom, for examples.
