EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable water dropper with a later lid, believed to be of Japanese origin and dating back to the mid-11th century. The delicate piece is crafted from stoneware and adorned with a stunning celadon glaze, adding an ethereal touch to its overall appearance. Measuring 6.6x9.6x8.7 cm, this miniature masterpiece can be found at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution, USA. The water dropper's lid is thought to have been added at a later time, possibly by Japanese artisans. Its exact purpose remains unknown, but it serves as a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of both Korean and Japanese artists during this period. With its intricate details and exquisite green glaze characteristic of Goryeo ceramics, this artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Korea during the Goryeo period (918-1392). It symbolizes not only functional beauty but also represents centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. Thanks to generous donations like that of Charles Lang Freer, we are able to appreciate and study these precious artifacts today. This photograph captures the essence of this historical treasure while preserving its legacy for future generations to admire and learn from.
