This buncheong dish with stamped chrysanthemum design and the inscription of “Naeseom (內贍)” is in its intact form. Its inner base is flat, while the wall is curved from the bottom and becomes straight at the lip. The inscription “Naeseom (內贍)” is located in the center of the inner base. Naeseom indicate Naeseomsi (內贍寺), a government institute managing tribute payments to the royal family, liquors and foods bestowing on high-ranking officials, foods and textiles sending to the Jurchens. The inner wall is divided into two layers with engraved lines, and chrysanthemum patterns are stamped in eight layers. On the lip, two-layer chrysanthemum patterns are stamped. The outer surface is also divided into upper and bottom, on which dot matrix patterns are inscribed in the middle. The clay is relatively refined. The dish is covered with greenish blue glaze, except for its foot and its surroundings. The bamboo-node foot is somewhat roughly finished; the width of the ground plane is not identical. No trace of support for firing is found in the inner base and the foot.
