EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent jar from the second half of the 15th to the first half of the 16th century, created by Korean artisans. Housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA, this exquisite piece is a testament to Korea's rich ceramic heritage. Crafted from stoneware and adorned with a delicate white slip and iron pigment under a transparent glaze, this jar exemplifies buncheong ware, specifically gyeryongsan type. Its elegant form stands tall at 30.5 cm (12 inches) in height with a diameter of 24.4 cm (9 5/8 inches). The intricate lotus motif adorning its surface adds an element of grace and symbolism. Dating back to the Joseon period (1392-1910), this jar represents an era when ceramics played an integral role in Korean culture and artistic expression. The skillful use of clear glaze enhances its visual appeal while preserving its historical significance. Thanks to generous philanthropist Charles Lang Freer, who gifted this remarkable artwork to the gallery, visitors can now appreciate its beauty and cultural importance firsthand. This photograph by Bridgeman Images allows art enthusiasts worldwide to marvel at this stunning example of Korean craftsmanship without any commercial intentions or associations. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece, we are reminded of how art transcends time and borders, connecting us all through shared appreciation for human creativity throughout history.
