to me it looks like a lid for kimchee with the dragon and fish oriential reference
-
That’s my vote, a lid for a winter kimchee pot. Great find, how did you come across it??

JoeB My mom’s best friend passed away and her house was full of antiques .Mom was helping the family clean out the house and they gave it to her.I thought it was a crock lid but it does not fit mine

Winter kimchee pots were, and still are buried below ground to ferment. Would be interested in the age. I’ll send the pic to a Korean and chinses friend for their opinion. Joe

JoeB Thanks! I had no idea!

My Chinese friend thinks it could be a rice cooker cover. I don’t agree looking at the stains on the wood…

Well Ron new info from my Korean friend. . . . She said it was a toilet hole cover. I think she would know, South Korea has been her home for over 70 years. Running water was not common place till after the Korean war. Even now the “Folk People” – farmers, use out houses. Before that some had what we would call chamber pots or USA version “Slop Jars” Not sure this should be on a food Blog, but it is what it is

Well, if you think about it, the first few guesses about this cover weren’t really too far from the truth.

I, with great reluctance must agree
