Vase

Object Label
This vase illustrates the revival of Goryeo-period celadon technology in the early Joseon dynasty. While the technique of carving designs and filling them with black and white slip remained roughly the same as that of the preceding dynasty, the lines of the design are thicker and less controlled than in Goryeo inlay. The color of the celadon glaze is now much browner, as a result of impurities in the glaze or of less control over firing conditions. The hand-drawn rendering of the cranes seated on willow trees has a naïve charm seen in many later Buncheong wares.
