EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cooking pot with two handles, dating back to the 4th century. Made of unglazed earthenware, this artifact is a testament to the rich history and craftsmanship of Korean pottery during the Three Kingdoms period (1st century BCE - 7th century CE). Measuring at 25.7x36.5x36.5 cm, this cooking pot is on display at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. Its simple yet elegant design reflects both practicality and beauty, highlighting its functional purpose while also exhibiting artistic flair. The absence of glaze adds an earthy charm to this ancient vessel, showcasing its raw materiality and authenticity. The rough texture invites us to imagine how it was used centuries ago by skilled cooks preparing meals over open fires or traditional stoves. With its provenance tracing back to World War II era Korea, this ceramic treasure carries historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It serves as a tangible link between past generations and our present understanding of Korean culture and culinary practices. As we admire this remarkable piece through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate not only its physical attributes but also the stories it holds within its clay walls – tales of nourishment, creativity, and human connection that transcend time itself.
