This 18th-century, anonymous Korean vase displays the iconic "buncheong" style, recognized by its unique, fluid brushstrokes and understated blue and white design. The vase's bulbous body, narrow neck, and delicate floral motifs, all executed with meticulous care, speak to the artistry of the piece. This beautiful, historically significant piece, found today in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the enduring legacy of Korean ceramics and the skill of its creators.
Comments
China's cultural influence on Korea dates to over two thousand years ago when they first engaged in trade. This influence is seen in Korea's ceramic production, when local potters began making porcelain at the end of the fourteenth century, with many of their wares modeled on Chinese prototypes. This later vase is no exception, as it features a cup-like mouth, which is also seen in Chinese porcelain. The abstract design in blue underglaze is suggestive of flowers, with similar motifs appearing on other Korean wares.
