The porcelain marks that came to adorn white porcelain in late Joseon as a result of foreign influence can be divided into royal reign marks bearing the reign titles of Ming and Qing China, including “大明宣德年製 (Made during the Xuande reign of the Great Ming dynasty)” and “萬曆年製 (Made during the Wanli reign)”; and auspicious marks or motif-inlaid marks, which were tremendously popular in civilian kilns during the two dynasties. The marks mainly appear in fine-quality white porcelain produced in the royal Bunwon kilns during the Joseon dynasty and are presumed to have been used by a limited class of consumers due to the small quantity of discovered artifacts. The emergence of imitating porcelain marks and inscriptions in Japan and Korea during this time can be attributed to the phenomenon during the mid-Ming period when literati culture prevailed and collecting antiques became a favored literati pastime, whereby not everyone could possess antiques in reality and therefore attempted to add higher value to contemporary porcelain to match the value of genuine antiques. Therefore, the new and varied foreign characteristics present in white porcelain of the late Joseon period must be understood not only within the context of the nation’s direct interactions with certain regions during the same era, but also in terms of the long-term process in which inspirations were exchanged among neighboring nations on various levels and the subsequent outcomes were shared. This study suggests that, among the foreign elements in white porcelain of the late Joseon period, certain styles of porcelain produced in civilian kilns during the Ming dynasty are likely to have been introduced through Japan about a century later. In this sense, the relationship between Japan and Chinese civilian kilns, the latter of which exerted significant influence on the outside world through porcelain exports, especially after the 16th century, will be worth further study for a multifaceted analysis of various foreign elements in white porcelain of the late Joseon period.
