shape variation: location |
Seoul, Kyunggi-do : The mouth and bottom of Onggie
has similar width and a slow curve in the middle of
its belly. The lid of Onggie is shallow in the
inside, rounded on the top, and has a handle shaped
in a lotus bud. Also, drawings of this Onggie
show intricate patterns. |

Chungchung-do
: The
neck of the Onggie is high and a little bit wide with
a shaped-out mouth. The bottom has a similar width,
and the belly of Onggie is more round than that of Seoul
and Kyunggi-do, which forms a shape crude, but solid.

Kangwon-do: The shape
of Onggie is slow rounded, and the mouth is wider than that of the
bottom with the belly part higher than that of Onggie itself. So,
Chunra-do Onggies look very fat! The lid of Onggie has handles
in both sides and is deep in the inside. The people here often
use a pot that they turned upside down and which looks like a form
of Jabaegi called Soraegi. The diameter of its mouth is wide
and deep. |

Kyungsang-do:
In general, Kyungsang-do Onggie has a similar shape
but has a narrow mouth. There are two types, a
sharp angled shoulder Onggie and overall round Onggie.
The Onggies in this region has more swollen in
the shoulder than in the belly. This is why Kyungsang-do
Onggies look very majestic. |
|
In conclusion, there used to be regional
characteristics in every shape of Onggies, but these days with rapid
advancement in transportation and incessant comings and goings of
people, we can see Chunra-do Onggies in Chungchung-do, and
Kyungsang-do Onggies in Chunra-do. It seems that the regional
characteristics are diminishing rapidly |
