Relic

 

Designated as Treasure 1869 in 2015, this celadon maebyeong with a cloud and crane design was featured in The New National Treasures 2014-2016 (May 13-July 9, 2017), a special exhibition to introduce items that had recently been designated as “Treasures” or “National Treasures.” Of the fifty items featured at that exhibition, this maebyeong was the only celadon vessel. With its stately form and whimsical crane design, this vase exuded a unique beauty that radiated through the gallery, capturing the hearts of all who attended that exhibition

 

 

 

 

The body is shaped like a type of Korean melon that is divided into eight sections and painted with alternating peony and chrysanthemum flowers. Black and white inlaid designs are harmoniously arranged across the piece. The bottom, which is formed like a crinkled skirt, lends a sense of stability to the overall structure. It resembles a celadon bottle unearthed from the tomb of King Injong of Goryeo (National Treasure No. 94) that is considered representative of 12th century celadon pottery.

 

This ewer reflects the form of a bamboo shoot, which was often used as a motif in the production of celadon vessels. Its body, spout and handle form a perfectly harmonious, beautiful whole. The entire surface of the piece is evenly coated with a jade-colored glaze, but is otherwise free from extraneous decoration, making it a masterpiece of celadon.
