About the Item

Korea is a country of stone where many stone statues and pagodas have been made since ancient times. A variety of elaborate handicrafts were created by hollowing out stones for everyday tools such as pots, kettles, braziers, and incense burners. Stone vessels, which conduct heat slowly and do not cool easily, were convenient for cooking and brewing ingredients. This is a small stone brazier. This item was made in the latter half of the Joseon Dynasty, around the 19th century. Of course, this brazier also has a very cool finish by carefully hollowing out the stones by hand and arranging the surface into a decagonal shape. Also, Korea is a very cold country, so tools to warm the body like this have been developed. In addition, since the same kind of product was published in the art book, the photograph is posted. It is finished in such a tasteful atmosphere because people used it every day in their lives. There is a chip at the top corner that has been repaired and restored, but it has been restored very well and does not look unpleasant to look at. It is thought that this repair was done to maintain its beauty. There is also a cream-colored vertical line nearby, but this is probably a repair of a thin crack that was only on the inside. Please check the 11th image, which has a red circle around it. The edge of the base is also worn down, so it looks slanted when placed in front. However, this is also a characteristic of this item as evidence that it has continued to be used as a tool. I filled it halfway with water and left it for half a day, but there was no water leakage. I think it's great for arranging flowers. Why don't you make it a collection as part of the valuable materials that show the lives of the common people of the Joseon Dynasty? Weight: 3.4kg
