Jar c. 19th century

This 19th-century Korean jar, crafted by an anonymous artist, is a fine example of Joseon dynasty ceramics. The jar's simple, elegant form and its pale celadon glaze with subtle speckling are characteristic of this period. It demonstrates the enduring tradition of Korean pottery with its graceful curves and understated beauty. The piece, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the skill and artistry of potters during this time.
