EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tea bowl and its accompanying stand, dating back to the first half of the 12th century. Crafted during Korea's Goryeo period, this stoneware masterpiece features a black slip under celadon glaze, adding depth and elegance to its appearance. Measuring at 8.7x15.9 cm, this tea bowl and stand can be found in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. Originating from either Gangjin or Buan kilns in Jeolla-do province, Korea, it represents the exceptional craftsmanship of Korean potters during that era. The delicate curves and exquisite detailing on both pieces reflect the mastery of ceramic artistry prevalent in ancient East Asia. This tea set not only serves as a functional vessel for enjoying one's favorite beverage but also stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to an era where sipping tea was not merely an act but rather an experience steeped in history and reverence. It reminds us of how ceramics have long been intertwined with daily life across various cultures around the world. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are able to appreciate not only the beauty captured within this image but also gain insight into humanity's enduring fascination with pottery as both an art form and practical object throughout time.
