About the Item

A charming Korean celadon glazed stoneware bowl with white and black sangam inlay, Goryeo Dynasty, 12th - 13th century, Korea. The celadon glazed stoneware bowl of generous proportions, with wide, gently sloping sides, set on a short ring foot. The interior of the bowl decorated with a design of four cranes flying gracefully amongst clouds. The cavetto with a single chrysanthemum blossom surrounded by a band of yeoui (ruyi) heads. The exterior of the bowl decorated with further chrysanthemum roundels set among billowing clouds, all above a band of stylized lotus petals. The bowl crafted of a porcelaneous stoneware and glazed all over in a grayish celadon, typical of Goryeo wares of the period. The design created using the sangam inlay technique, in which designs are first carved, then filled in with different colored clays. In the case of this bowl, most of the design features a lighter whitish clay, with the cranes featuring some black clay inlay for the tail feathers.
