Abstract

Decorated with patterned net design on the porcelain surface, net design porcelain was produced in China, Japan, and Chosŏn. This study examined the style of net design porcelain in East Asia that had not been comprehensively viewed so far, and also considered the aspect and characteristics of production. Net design porcelain that spread as export porcelain in the late Ming period, influenced the ceramics of Japan and Chosŏn. First, in order to understand the origin and spread process of net design porcelain in East Asia, this study put together and examined data of the countries where net design porcelain was distributed in the late Ming period. Meanwhile, net design porcelain in China was imitated in Japan which was the main consumer. Japan is understood to continuously produce net design porcelain since producing hard white porcelain. Net design porcelain of China tended to be continuously imitated, transformed, and diversified in Japan. As the auspicious symbols, the net design itself in Japan was loved for the design of craftworks including ceramics. Especially, it was widely circulated through design books, and this study estimated the possibility in which such design books probably stimulated the production of net design white porcelain that appeared after the 19th century in the Chosŏn Dynasty. Like this, this study considered the meanings of net design porcelain in East Asia through the fact in which the aspect of accepting and producing net design porcelain was differently shown in each country such as China, Japan, and Chosŏn.
