UnknownGoryeo, 12th century

该作品的收藏者：

Along with celadon ware, bronzeware was widely used during the Goryeo Dynasty. Thus, celadon vessels often copied the shape and form of contemporaneous bronzeware, as exemplified by this two-handled jar. The animal designs of the handles originated from bronzeware. This jar is relatively large for Goryeo celadon, and it was probably used to hold water or other liquid. The large, distinct form of the jar is well complemented by the peony design that is inlaid on the front and back. The stamen, pistil, and petals of the peony are inlaid with white clay, with a very thin black outline, and the veins of the petals are etched in to add more detail. The petals were inlaid rather thickly, causing some swelling in certain areas. The entire jar was thinly and evenly coated with a grayish green glaze, producing a jade hue. The glaze is highly transparent, producing a fine gloss effect.
