About the Item

A small ceramic celadon storage jar circa 18th century of Korean Joseon Dynasty. The melon shape jar with a mouth and base of the same size display a beautiful harmony in its form. The body showcases an octagon facet with vigorous lines and angles. The beveling technique started in previous Goryeo Dynasty but limited to the forms largely imitating the Chinese prototypes. During Joseon Dynasty, due to the dominance of neo-Confucianism and its influence on the aesthetic, a humble and austere look was preferred, which was achieved in these multifaceted ware. The jar is covered in a white glaze with a bluish celadon tint with very small and fine glaze crackles covering its surface. Around the mid-body, four lovely under-glazed floral designs circumvent the piece in blue foliage and central bloom with copper-red petals and iron brown center. The base rim is not glazed and retains old green felt as shown. For a faceted jar with different design, see illustration 32 of "Five Centuries of Korean Ceramics Pottery and Porcelain of the Yu Dynasty" by Goro Akaboshi and Heiichiro Nakamaru. For another beveled jar, see page 107, figure 31 of "Korean Ceramics from the Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka".
