A large Korean Buncheong (Pun-Chong) pottery bottle from the Joseon period (16th-17th century) covered in a creamy white glaze decorated on the flat sides with exaggerated floral scrolls on a dark ground; carved ringlets filled with dark slip on the sides. Color built up over the centuries fills the crackled glaze. The foot ring is rough with sand and excess glaze, and occasional windows in the glaze about the foot reveal the dark clay beneath. The vase is 8-1/2 inches (21 cm) tall, and comes enclosed in a fine old Kiri-wood box. Although not a chip in the clay, there is a loss to the porcelain on the edge of the rim (see close up photo). The Japanese have long esteemed crafts from other Asian countries and over the centuries many of these items have made the journey to this land. For a brief change of pace we will be listing a few in our catalog. For similar pieces see the collection of the Koryo Museum.
