Massive Modern Korean Celadon "Thousand Cranes" Moon Jar, 21st Century, Korea
About the Item
A large and impressive modern Korean slip inlaid celadon "Thousand Cranes" moon jar attributed to Han Gi Woong, 21st century, South Korea.
The moon jar is decorated all around with carved and slip inlaid images of cranes, and glazed all over with a warm and bright celadon green glaze. The cranes fly in formation, circling the jar in a pleasing pattern, their white bodies and black legs contrasting nicely against each other as well as the celadon ground. The glaze with a subtle and attractive crackle throughout.
The massive jar (16" diameter) of typical moon jar shape, with a globular body set on a short ring foot, and a short narrow neck with rolled mouth rim. Unlike traditional moon jars, this one has been created as a single piece, rather than two hemispheres joined together.
Cranes are symbols of longevity and grace in Korea. The crane is also the symbol of the city of Incheon, where the artist is based. The "Thousand Cranes" motif is a popular motif in Korean ceramics, though it is rarely literal, usually just describing a large number of cranes. In this case however, there literally are one thousand cranes. The cranes are arranged in twenty neat rows of fifty cranes each. The rows of cranes are graduated in size to take into account the curve of the jar, creating a beautiful "S" shape to the columns, giving the jar a sense of motion.
Two character mark on the bottom reading 芸珍 and attributed to the contemporary Korean potter Han Gi Woong.

- Moon Jar 'Dalhanari', Lot3 / 17th Century / Korean Antiques / Joseon DynastyLocated in Kyoto-shi, KyotoThis 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...Category
