Description: Cup decorated with crane and cloud design. Stoneware, thrown, inlaid in black and white slip and celadon-glazed. Probably Sadang-ri or Yuch'on-ri ware. This relatively big cup has an incurved mouth, a rounded body and a small foot. It is inlaid in black and white slip with a chrysanthemum medallion in the centre within a ring of youi-heads, four cranes among stylised clouds round the sides and a classic-scroll border at the rim. On the outside, between a key-fret border and a border of lotus petals is a broad band of scrollwork (tangch'o) with four chrysanthemum florets in double-outlined medallions. The opaque greenish-blue glaze is crackled. Four quartzite spur-marks are remaining on the footring. | 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: | cup Unknown stoneware | Temporal: | name=Koryo Dynasty; start=1250; end=1300 | 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 |
