Lidded vessel

ca. 2000

Korean, born 1935

In addition to retaining the proportions, knob detail and high foot of a traditional ritual container, this contemporary work expresses the beauty of facetted surfaces reflecting light and shade, as seen on the body. A rectangular knob attached on the top of the lid is slightly askew, which gives this work an impression of airiness.

Porcelain with clear glaze

6 x 5 1/2 x 5in. (15.2 x 14 x 12.7cm) Jar with lid

Gift of Frank S. Bayley III
