Large Korean Monochrome Porcelain Moon Jar on Carved Wood Stand, 20th Century

About the Item

Large Korean White Porcelain Moon Jar on Carved Wood Stand, 20th Century A striking example of Korean minimalist ceramic design, this large white porcelain moon jar embodies the refined aesthetic of traditional Joseon Dynasty whitewares. Measuring 14 inches high by 12 inches in diameter, the jar is paired with a later carved black lacquered wood stand that enhances its sculptural presence. Hand-thrown in two sections and joined at the shoulder—an identifying feature of the traditional moon jar—the vessel is coated in a luminous soft white feldspathic glaze. The surface is subtly textured with natural glaze pooling, speckling, and minute pinholes, all of which reflect the handmade nature of Korean ceramic traditions. The jar’s asymmetry and gentle irregularity are celebrated elements of Korean aesthetics, emphasizing naturalness and balance over perfection. Moon jars (dalhangari) are symbolic forms in Korean culture, representing the fullness and purity of the moon, and were historically favored by scholars and nobility for their meditative simplicity. This piece likely dates to the mid-20th century, a period when Korean ceramicists revived classical forms with modern sensibility. Dimensions: 14 in. H x 12 in. diameter base diameter 6.5in. (without stand) Total height with stand: approx. 15.25 in. Condition: Excellent vintage condition; minor glaze variations and firing imperfections consistent with Korean whiteware.
