Porcelain Jar
Korean
Description
Physical Description:
A glazed porcelain jar, whose body is wide and round with a lipped, wide opening. Detailed with a Korean character, possibly a label for the jar's contents, in blue.
Both sides of the shoulder are decorated with letters that resemble Japanese hiragana syllables. The vessel appears to have been produced under the influence of Japanese technology and capital. The entire vessel is glazed except the foot rim. The high kaolin content of the clay has produced a light jar with thin walls.
