Park Young-sook

Korean, born 1947

On this bowl, Park Young-sook revives one of the typical forms of Choson ritual ceramics -- a vessel with notched flanges and a high foot. A balanced shape and smooth surface in the desirable snowy-white color are prominent characteristics of this artist's work. Since originating from early Chinese bronze examples, Choson ritual vessels have featured decorative elements reminiscent of ancient bronzes.
Porcelain with clear glaze
