1970-80년대 옹기상인의 거래 장부 분석을 통한 옹기문화지도

Abstract

This research is an analysis of an account book kept by an pottery retailor who had worked as a pottery retailor for about 50 years since 1950s. The analysis is focused on the aspects of pottery culture among various periods of time and the findings are mapped. They are summarized into the followings. Firstly, the retailor changed his pottery supplier from Cheongsong to Yeongdeuk, Ulsan, and Mungyeong, which is related to the quality and the price of pottery, way of transportation, and the consumption rate of pottery. Secondly, the most frequent distribution was Cheongsong and the amount of purchase was peaked in the mid 1970s, which shows that the pottery business was started to decline in late 1970s and the pottery of Cheongsong area was considered most proper in terms of quality, price, and transportation distance. Thirdly, the price and quality of pottery varies by regions. In 1970s that of Ulsan area was highest in product price and quality, followed by Yeongduk, Cheongsong, Mungyeong·Bongwha, and Yeongju respectively. Fourthly, the unit of weights and measures of pottery in Gyeongsang province is“ jari”, that of Gyeongnam area including Gyeongju and Ulsan is“ gyeop(double)jari”, and that of the other Gyeongbuk area is“ hot(single)jari”. Fifthly, the way of classifying pottery by producers varies by the time and place. In earlier times and in more sparsely populated areas, larger sized pottery was considered important.
