✓ Authenticity guarantee · ✓ Specialist condition report · ✓ Insured worldwide shipping · ✓ Private-room viewing
The potter’s splashed sketchy brushwork in underglaze over the somewhat rough surface gives this jar a strikingly modern look. This type of Korean porcelain work featuring unfinished and raw qualities served as a source of inspiration for many European ceramists in the mid-1900s, particularly British studio potters who searched for a new set of aesthetics that favored bold and abstract design.
