The tone shelf is inspired by the traditional colors of Korea, especially "Hanbok," which is a traditional Korean dress for formal occasions. Here, those traditional colors are made into art furniture with a modern sensibility, in Korean jade and sky blue. The tone of the blue gives an elegant and dreamy vibe. As artisans dye each piece of acrylic by hand, the tone in this piece is completely different from that of a mass-produced product, and as such, has its own value as a limited artwork. Wide spaces between the shelves can fit large...

This vessel is an exceptionally rare example believed to represent a Cong-shaped ceramic attributable to the Jin Dynasty, and it may be the only known ceramic work of this form from the period. While certain formal similarities have led some scholars to tentatively associate it with the Song Dynasty or later, the present work is more convincingly attributed to the Western Jin Dynasty (3rd–4th century CE). The vessel is constructed with a cylindrical inner structure and a square outer profile, conforming to the characteristic geometry of the ancient Cong (琮) form. Its surface is decorated with restrained geometric incised patterns. This structural concept is directly derived from ancient jade Cong (玉琮), which represent the earliest and most authoritative prototypes of the form. Jade Congs...

Statues of attendants crafted from terracotta, featuring glazes in green, Set on rectangular bases. Period: Ming Dynasty Medium: Glazed Pottery Type: Figure Condition : Excellent(It has soil on it, which is presumed to be evidence of excavation) Provenance : Acquired in late 1990s from Hongkong Reference : V&A Museum - Accession number C.1501913 (Type : Closely related) * Ming Dynasty Glazed Pottery Figures Ming Dynasty glazed pottery figures are renowned for their bold color palette, intricate detailing, and lifelike forms, distinguishing them from earlier traditions. These figures, which depict officials, warriors, animals, and mythical creatures, are characterized by high-gloss lead-based glazes in green, amber, ochre, and sancai (three-color) combinations. The thickly applied glaze pools in recesses, creating depth and enhancing sculptural details. With dynamic postures, expressive facial features, and meticulously rendered drapery, these figures reflect the period’s advancement in ceramic craftsmanship, offering a greater sense of movement and realism compared to the rigid and stylized forms of earlier dynasties. A defining characteristic of Ming glazed pottery is its elaborate surface detailing, often achieved through raised relief elements and contrasting glazes. Equestrian figures, for example, feature carefully sculpted saddles, harnesses, and decorative embellishments, while human figures are adorned with intricate robes and headdresses. The large scale of these tomb figures, often more imposing than those from previous periods, underscores the increasing importance of funerary art during the Ming era. Unlike later Qing Dynasty figures...
