Pair of Bowls from Shipwreck, Late Ming Era(16-17th century)
Located in seoul, KR
These shallow bowls feature stylized floral and wave motifs rendered in fluid cobalt brushwork beneath a clear glaze. The slightly everted rims and neatly cut foot rings are characteristic of export wares produced in southern kilns during the Ming period. Marine encrustations and glaze degradation attest to prolonged submersion in a maritime context, offering valuable insight into historical trade routes and overseas demand for Chinese ceramics.

Cizhou Lotus Carved Jar, Song-Yuan dynasty
Located in seoul, KR
This jar features a carved design, which is typical of Cizhou ware. It has a creamy white and brown color scheme, and the prominent decoration of lotus flower, which is a common motif in Chinese art and culture, symbolizing purity and enlightenment.
The carving technique involves coating the vessel with a layer of white slip (liquid clay), then carving away parts of it to create the design, revealing the darker clay body beneath. This technique allows for a strong contrast between the background and the carved motif.
Period : Song-Yuan Dynasty
Type : Jar
Medium : Cizhou Ware
Size : 21.5 cm(Height), 11cm(Mouth Diameter)
Provenance : Acquired in 1999, Hongkong
* Cizhou Ware
Cizhou is the name given to a number of stonewares, grey or buff, of varying degrees of hardness, with painted, incised or carved decoration on a clay slip. These stonewares were not only made in the region of Cizhou, Hebei Province, but in several provinces of China during the Song, Yuan and Ming periods. The great centres of production were in the north of China in the provinces of Hebei, Henan and Shanxi.

A Rare Yue Celadon Cong-Shaped Vase, Western Jin Dynasty(3-5th C)
Located in seoul, KR
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...

Ming Period Large Pottery Horse with Saddle (15-16th Century)
Located in seoul, KR
The figure stands on a rectangular base. The horse is depicted in a poised stance, with strong, muscular legs and a slightly bowed head. The mane is carefully sculpted with deep, flowing grooves, adding a dynamic texture to the piece. The head features expressive details, including a well-defined muzzle, flared nostrils. The bridle and harness are delicately painted in faded green, contrasting against the creamy beige body. The saddle is adorned with intricate details, including decorative tassels and a textured pattern, indicative of the elaborate tack used in the Ming period.
Traces of original polychrome pigments in green, black, and ochre remain on the surface, hinting at the sculpture’s once-vibrant appearance. The weathered patina and areas of flaking paint add to its historical authenticity, reflecting centuries of age. The overall craftsmanship and detailing exemplify the Ming Dynasty’s refined ceramic artistry, making this piece a remarkable representation of of asian culture during this period.
Period: Ming Dynasty
Medium: Green, black, and ochre glazed Pottery
Type: Figure

* 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...
