하재일기(荷齋日記)를 통해 본 조선 말기 분원

Abstract

This thesis examined the changes of Bunwon(分院) management and the production of ceramics from 1891 to 1910 based on the Hajae(荷齋)‘s diary. First the production background of Chosun porcelain in the 19th century was investigated through the survey of documents and ceramics. And the Hajae(荷齋)‘s diary was researched from the view of Bunwon operation and the manufacture of ceramics. The management of Bunwon tribute office(分院貢所: 1883-1896), the ceramic company (燔磁會社: 1897-1905) and the vessel company(燔砂會社: 1906-1910) and the problems of tribute were inquired. Various kinds of vessels and the sales items were also verified. Next, I discovered that ceramics from Haeju(海州) and other area kilns, and the Japanese wares were banned from sale in markets of Seoul and Gyunggi province. Because Bunwon had the monopoly for the compensation of tribute. And the establishment of Eungok(銀谷)kiln in Seoul, the Japanese potter's activity in Bunwon, and the Bunwon's cooperation with Bangsan(防山) kiln of Yanggu(楊口) were important news in this diary. Especially the list of potters of Bunwon and Japanese kilns could be a new momentum to study the potter's life in that period. And the production sites of materials, stores of Japanese cobalt pigment,producing process of Bunwon wares, the first making of overglaze wares were available consequences from careful inspection of this diary. Finally it is clear from this brief research that Hajae(荷齋)‘s diary is a valuable source of information for ceramic history.
