Description: Vase with foliage design. Stoneware, thrown, washed with iron-oxide, painted in white slip, and celadon-glazed. The maebyong-shaped vase has a short neck with a (replaced) cup-shaped mouth, its sides gently tapering from the rounded shoulder to the slightly spread base, with a low curved footring. The whole vessel is covered with iron-oxide onto which three foliage motifs have been painted in white slip. The slip has in places been thickly applied, almost giving the impression of a relief design. A glossy pale green celadon glaze with a fine crackle has been thinly applied on top. The glaze has pooled towards the base, which is mainly unglazed and has fired a reddish colour; the footring shows traces of fire-clay spurs. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | vase Unknown stoneware | Temporal: | name=Koryo Dynasty; start=1050; end=1150 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
