Ong (옹) (甕, 瓮) is the Korean word for "pottery" and refers to the form of the bowl. In Sung-Hyun's ≪선화봉사 고려도경 宣和奉使高麗圖經≫ quoted: "Pottery is the most necessary vessel for people.” Onggi, made by a specialized group of workers called onggijang (Korean: 옹기장), have been largely influenced by the characteristics and climate of the regions where they were made. As a result, the shape, size, and manufacturing method of onggi vary from region to region. Nevertheless, onggi types share similarities: biodegradability, porosity, resistance to rot, as well as firmness or "vertebration". Deep joy passion nurture and health here and ahead✨
