Chulwha pieces collected from Hakbong-ri site in Keryong mountain were studied whether there is reactions or not in each layer to investigate firing condition of glaze, body, Chulwha, engobe of Buncheong ware in the early Chosun Dynasty, 15th~16th Century. As a result of XRD analysis of a Chulwha piece, a main crystal phase was $\alpha$-Quartz and a second was Mullite. It was assumed the firing temperature would be around $1200^{\circ}C$ because a little amount of Mullite was formed in the body and there was no phase transition $\alpha$-Quartz to cristobalite. As a result of ICRM analysis, Chulwha and glaze didn't react and the melted glazes were sunk into the Chunwha particles. The thin layer of glaze was found on the Chulwha layer. As a result, the color of Chulwha layer always came to vivid black. Moreover, Chulwha painting didn't spread over the Buncheong ware, because Chulwha and engobe didn't react. The boundary interface of engobe and body was not clear because they had similar compositions. This shows engobe was composed of more $Al_2O_3$ than body.

First, a purified sludge was calcined at various temperatures viz. 800, 900, 1000, 1100 and $1200^{\circ}C$ per hour. Subsequently 100 wt% of ware from Geryong mountain was mixed with 5~25 wt% of a purified sludge. Then the ware was treated at $1250^{\circ}C$ in an electric kiln to test a bending strength. The physicochemical property of the prepared ware was characterized by XRD, Raman and SEM analysis. Among the different percentage, 25 wt% of a ware in a purified sludge calcined at $1000^{\circ}C$ showed 689 $kg/cm^2$ strength. Also the purified sludge calcined at $1000^{\circ}C$ was adequate physical properties than the other composites. Further to enhance the physical strength, 3 wt% $TiO_2$ (a mineralizer) was added into the ware and the strength was increased up to 731 $kg/cm^2$. The composites exhibit absorption and porosity rates of 0.17% and 0.39% respectively.
