Tall Korean Ceramic Storage Jar Joseon Dynasty

About the Item

A Korean ceramic storage jar circa 18th century of Joseon Dynasty. The jar is of a classic Maebyong form (known in Chinese as Plum Vase or Meiping). The vase features raised shoulder above a tall and slender body and a small mouth opening. This form appears more common in celadon production during the previous Goryeo dynasty. The jar has a white glaze with a slight blue-grey celadon tint and with very small and fine glaze crackles covering its surface. On its shoulder, there are two under-glazed floral design in an iron-brown color but appears greenish due to the kiln oxidation. One is more defined than the other . The simple hand-drawn decoration is full of folky charm. The piece displays impressive patina from years of use. Old and stable cracks are found on the body, along the base rim as well as radiating from the mouth rim, showcasing its aged beauty. There is an old paper label residue remained as shown.

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...
