Faceted Korean Ceramic Celadon Jar Joseon Dynasty

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".

  • 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...
