About the Item

The hand painting of this vase is intricate and detailed and is typical of a Maebyeong or Korean Baluster vase, unsigned and unmarked, but based on the decorations, it looks mid 20th century, handmade and hand-painted. Korean baluster vases, also known as "maebyeong" or "meiping" vases, are a traditional form of ceramic vessel that originated in Korea during the Goryeo dynasty, 918 to 1392, and continued to be produced in subsequent dynasties. Baluster vases are frequently decorated with various motifs and themes inspired by nature, mythology, and Buddhist iconography. Common motifs include nature and palatial scenes, such as this one. This vase is particularly attractive with interesting scenes and motifs with a whimsical quality, like the surprising "expression" on the face of the deer-like animal near the top of the vase. The colors are intense and the porcelain ground is white. This is an unusual and quite distinctive piece.
