Large Korean Goryeo Bronze Basin w/ Handles, Goryeo Dynasty, 12th/14th century
About the Item
An unusually large and impressive Korean Goryeo bronze circular basin with applied handles and stunning patina, Goryeo Dynasty (918 to 1392), 12th - 14th century, Korea.
The large basin of typical circular form, set on a high, slightly splayed, ring foot, with applied handles to the tall walls of the body, and an everted mouth with rolled rim. An attractive patina of mottled green malachite covers the surface of the bronze.
The basin is plain, save for the pair of handles that sick out on either side. The handles of elegant curved form with ruyi (yeo ui) shaped terminals. The handles have been riveted to the body for strength, with the rivets visible to the interior.
The interior of the basin with a very unusual and attractive patina with almost wave-like patterns. The heavily oxidized dark bronze base shows through, creating a nice contrast against the green patina.
The unusually large size of this basin indicates it was most likely used in a temple setting, probably for purification and cleansing rituals and ceremonies.
The basin can still hold water, and is watertight.

Pair of Korean Goryeo Dynasty Bronze Pedestal Bowls, 13th-15th Century, Korea
Located in Austin, TX
An exquisite pair of Korean bronze pedestal offering bowls, Goryeo Dynasty, 13th-15th century, Korea.
The Goryeo bronze bowls of generous proportions, with high sides and an ever so slightly everted rim. The bowls are supported on a pedestal base with a tall stem and wide, splayed ring foot.
The bowls plain, save for a single engraved line circumscribing the splayed foot.
The bowls with an amazingly rich and complex patina of mottled reddish browns from cuprite and dark greens from malachite. The bronze heavily cleaned to the European taste, removing most of the encrustations. Some areas of the bowls with rougher areas where the accretions could not be removed.
Crafted in two parts in the spun bronze technique, then joined. The bowls are unusually thin for bronze, with the lathe lines still visible to the undersides.
