Buncheong Ware and White Porcelain
Known to have been excavated from an ancient tomb in Chang-dong in Dobong-gu, Seoul, this white porcelain water dropper has the shape of a peach. Its simple, stable form and nicely protruded peak suggest that it was made during the early Joseon Period. It is decorated with a cobalt blue line encircling the belly and a pine spray combined with the stump of a plum tree painted above it. The rough but artistically confident brush strokes are admirably characteristic of the dignified style of early blue-and-white porcelain wares produced in Korea.
