Stoneware, thrown, with parts attached, incised and celadon-glazed. The body of this ewer is almost globular, and has a low wide neck, a squat spout and a well-proportioned curved handle. The angular dish-shaped cover has a globular knob and a loop for attaching it to a corresponding loop on the handle. The whole appearance is compact, the outlines pure and simple. The base is recessed. An exuberant peony spray is finely incised on either side, while foliate scrolls within lobed panels are framing both spout and handle. Simple scroll motifs are further incised on top of the lid. The glaze is of pale blue-green tone with a subtle gloss. Seven fire-clay spur-marks can be seen around the base, where the glaze has been wiped away. title: ewer NOTES ----- type: history note value: Formerly in the collection of Aso Takahiko LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: Gompertz Collection creditline: Gompertz Gift STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/16153 SUBJECTS ------------------- peony peony CATEGORIES ------ category: stoneware category: celadon DATING ------ creation date: 1100 - 1150 creation date earliest: 1100 creation date latest: 1150 culture: 12th Century culture: Koryo Dynasty CREATORS -------- maker: Unknown EXHIBITIONS HISTORY ------------------- title: Korean and Chinese Ceramics from the 10th to the 14th Century CITATIONS -------- The Development of Koryo Wares Hsu Ching's Visit to Korea in 1123 Korean Celadon and Other Wares of the Koryo Period Korean and Chinese Ceramics from the 10th to the 14th Century Masterpieces of Korean Art Korean Ceramics at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge Korean Art from the Gompertz and Other Collections in the Fitzwilliam Museum, A Complete Catalogue --- IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa20/C_56_20_26_20A_1984.jpg height: 517 pixels width: 760 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa20/mid_C_56_20_26_20A_1984.jpg height: 340 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa20/C_56_20_26_20A_1984.jpg height: 517 pixels width: 760 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa20/preview_C_56_20_26_20A_1984.jpg height: 170 pixels width: 250 pixels
