Two Korean White Ceramic Jars Joseon Dynasty

About the Item

Two ensuite Korean porcelain jars circa early 19th century Joseon Dynasty, attributed to Punwon-ri ware and measures 5.5" diameter x 4" height and 4" diameter x 3.65" height individually. This type of small globular jar with large and slightly everted mouth rim and a recessed foot ring were traditionally used as containers for pickles or spices and the slightly splayed mouth allows them to be stacked for storage. The surface of the jar features a white glaze with a pale blue tint. The patina on the larger jar includes some crackle lines and the dark grease marks along the crackles are due to years of soaking in oil substance. The base rim retains some sand grits from kiln firing support and the small jar has also retained minute dark granules due to the explosion in the kiln. For a nearly identical jar, see page 211 of "Korean Art from the Gompertz and Other Collections in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. A Complete Catalog" by Yun Yong-i.

  • Korean Ceramic Faceted Wine Bottle Vase Joseon Dynasty
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A Korean ceramic bottle with octagonal faceted form with underglaze copper red decoration. The robust bottle with the long neck and a relatively thick built was used to hold liquor such as wine and it was from Joseon dynasty, likely late period (circa mid-late 19th century). The bottle was covered in a milky white glaze with a pleasant warm yellow tint. It has an underglaze iron red paint of branches of gingko leaves on the front and the back side. The color was oxidated into an ochre brown hue instead of iron red. The octagonal form extends nicely from the opening to the base, continuing through the body and makes this bottle geometrically interesting. The rustic paint of the gingko leaves also render the piece a folky modern appeal. For three faceted wine bottles from different period of Joseon Dynasty, see illustration 2, 71 and 73 of "Five Centuries of Korean Ceramics Pottery and Porcelains of the Yi Dynasty...
