Korean Pottery

Quoted from Bernard Leach; "The ones I at first loved most were celadons of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, many delicately inlaid with white and black patterns. These were famous, even in China, where their grey-green was described as 'the colour of the sky after rain'. These quiet pots were made for a cultured Buddhist society of the Koryo Dynasty. In later years the pots I came to love still more were white, or blue and white porcelain, influenced by distant Mohammedan Ming China."

Masangbae, wine cup. The glaze colour is typical of the sixteenth century. This piece was probably made in the first half of the century at one of the Punch'ong Kilns in Kyongsang province that went on to make true porcelain, like those in Chinyang, Sanch'ong or Koryong; Fitzwilliam Museum Collections Explorer - Object C.125-1984 (Id:16413)
