This is a tray/bowl made from ancient wood from Jeju Island, dating back 250-300 years. In the ancient Korean art of the Joseon dynasty, wood from Jeju Island was extremely rare, and is known for its distinct texture compared to Joseon-era tables made from mainland Korean chestnut or pine. The remarkable feature is the density of the wood. The weight and substantial feel immediately apparent when held sets it apart from typical Joseon-era tables and trays, conveying the unique character and accumulated time of Jeju Island's ancient wood. The annual rings are dense, the aging reveals a deep character, and it maintains structural stability despite its age and use. This item was purchased by the seller's grandmother in the 1990s from a Joseon-era antique shop in Kyoto. The Joseon antique market in Kyoto at the time had a high standard of connoisseurship, making the provenance trustworthy. In recent years, similar works made from Jeju Island's ancient wood are rarely seen on the market, making this a valuable piece for both practical use and appreciation. Recommended not just as an antique, but as an item for collectors interested in Joseon art, Korean folk art, and primitive woodworking. 【Size】 ・Length: 47cm ・Width: 30cm ・Height: 8cm
