Antique Korean Porcelain Jar with Pheonix Design Joseon Dynasty

About the Item

A korean white porcelain jar with underglaze blue paint circa late 19th century toward the end of Joseon Dynasty. Porcelain jars of this elongated form with swell shoulder, wide mouth through a short, everted neck were made in various size in the late Joseon period. They served a wide range of functions such as flower vases, culinary jars or apothecary bottles. This jar is of a medium size and rises from a slightly tapered base. Flying phoenix with open wings are depicted among the clouds on both the front and the back. The mythological bird is one of the most auspicious symbols in Asian cultures and is often found on Korean ceramics. The shoulder is decorated with scrolling youi-head and the neck circumvented with lines. The painting was rustic and folky, indicating that this jar was a vernacular piece that was used on a regular base in the household. For comparable jars with similar phoenix design, see C.75-1930 in the collection of V and A museum in London; Item 2017.58.1 in the collection of Portland Art Musuem; Object 82.558 in the collection of The Museum of Fine Art Houston.

  • Moon Jar 'Dalhanari', Lot3 / 17th Century / Korean Antiques / Joseon Dynasty
    Located in Kyoto-shi, Kyoto
    This is a white porcelain jar from the mid-Joseon period, also known as a "Talhunari" or "moon jar". During the Joseon Dynasty, which was strongly influenced by Confucianism, the purity of white porcelain was particularly prized in its artistic expression due to its Confucian sensitivity. The defining characteristic of white porcelain during this period was its pure white color, but there were many subtle variations in the white hues, with some being classified as milky white, snowy white, ashen white, and bluish white. The term "Talhunari" means "moon jar" in Korean, and it refers to the large, round shape of the jar, resembling a full moon. It was named by Kim Whanki, a representative abstract painter of Korea. The soft, curving lines and sturdy body that seems to embrace the full moon give the jar both power and tranquility. This type of jar was produced in large quantities during the 17th century. The white of the moon jar is not the pure white of early Joseon porcelain...
