EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the early 5th century - a jar made of unglazed stoneware with traces of natural ash glaze. The exquisite craftsmanship and delicate details are evident in every inch of this piece, which measures 30.5x31.5x31.5 cm. Housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA, this ancient Korean jar is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Korea during the Three Kingdoms period (1st century BCE-7th century CE). Its historical significance is further enhanced by its provenance from the WWII era. The absence of glaze on this stoneware allows for an appreciation of its raw beauty and earthy texture. The subtle remnants of natural ash glaze add depth and character to its surface, hinting at centuries-old firing techniques employed by skilled artisans. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where such jars played vital roles in daily life - storing precious commodities or preserving food for sustenance. This particular vessel serves as a tangible link between past generations and our present understanding of Korean artistry. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art prints, we can now admire and appreciate this extraordinary piece without any commercial connotations but rather purely for its artistic merit and historical value.
