Poterie de la Corée Ancienne

La poterie de la Corée ancienne remonte à la préhistoire, à l'époque où l'on fabriquait de simples céramiques brunes décorées d'incisions géométriques. Les potiers se sont inspirés des idées et des techniques de leurs homologues chinois et ont ensuite produit leurs propres œuvres très recherchées, notamment le grès gris, le céladon, le buncheong et la porcelaine blanche. Les céramiques sont de conception innovante et vont des brûleurs d'encens incroyablement complexes à la simplicité et à l'élégance sublimes du vase maebyeong. La décoration de la poterie coréenne utilise généralement des plantes, des fleurs et des animaux sauvages, et reflète l'héritage religieux du pays, avec une prédominance de motifs bouddhistes et de dessins confucéens minimalistes.

White maebyeong, Unknown Korean, 18th century, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Japanese and Korean Art

White; thin at base, wider above center, thinner again at raised lip From the founding of the Joseon dynasty at the end of the 14th century, Korean potters produced finely crafted, undecorated white wares which reflected the austere tastes associated with Confucianism, the official ideology of the Joseon rulers. By the 18th century, however, imperfectly formed and casually glazed vessels such as this were being produced for use by all levels of Korean society. The pleasing informality and naturalness of such objects were admired by Japanese tea masters who collected Korean ceramics in great number. Size: 15 x 11 1/2 in. (38.1 x 29.21 cm) Medium: Porcelain with clear glaze

Vase, 12th century, Brooklyn Museum: Asian Art

From "Korean Art Collection in the Brooklyn Museum" catalogue: This vase shows features that are typical of maebyeong vases: a broad shoulder and a small mouth. The body is decorated with a cloud design painted with white slip. Considering that few celadon maebyeong were decorated using this slip painting technique, experts believe that it was made before the inlaying technique was developed. The foot is of the concave base type and has five refractory clay marks from kiln stacking. The shape of the vase, the cloud design on the surface, and the techniques used for decoration reveal that it was made in the twelfth century. Size: Height: 13 5/16 in. (33.8 cm) Diameter at mouth: 2 3/16 in. (5.6 cm) Diameter at base: 4 7/8 in. (12.4 cm) Medium: Porcelaneous stoneware with celadon glaze

Vase (Maebyong) with Clouds, Flying Cranes, and Children amid Willows, 1175, Art Institute of Chicago: Asian Art

The Goryeo dynasty was a golden age for Korean ceramic making, and outstanding among the era’s wares are understatedly elegant celadons. Celadon is an iron-based glaze capable of an almost infinite range of colors, depending on the amount of oxygen in the kiln. Although Korean potters initially drew on Chinese models for both vessel shapes and celadon techniques, this maebyeong (plum vase)—with its shallow cuplike lid, swollen shoulders, and constricted waist—is thoroughly Korean. The cool beauty of the vase’s greenish blue glaze represents such perfection of the technique that even the Chinese admired Korean celadons as surpassing their own. A unique Korean contribution to ceramic development is the inlay of delicately rendered designs. In this precise and time-consuming process, designs carved or incised on the body of the vessel were filled in with black or white clay prior to glazing and firing. Here the appealing and often playful designs are auspicious Korean symbols: the motif of cranes flying through drifting clouds, which separates the three double-trefoil frames, symbolizes longevity; the plump children, who chase a butterfly, signify happiness, prosperity, and abundant progeny; and the tiny duck is associated with marital fidelity. Gift of Mr. Russell Tyson Size: 33.5 cm (13 1/8 in.) Medium: Celadon-glazed stoneware with underglaze inlaid decoration of black and white clays

Korean traditional pottery

Dragon jar

Second half of the 18th century

Porcelain jars painted with cobalt-blue dragons were popular from the seventeenth through the nineteenth century. Many were used as flower vases in official court ceremonies. Originally associated with water, dragons were also imperial emblems throughout East Asia. The two four-clawed dragons chasing flaming jewels on this piece embody the dynamic strength of the mythical beast. At the same time, their amusing, rather than savage, faces reflect the notion of dragons as auspicious, welcome creatures not to be feared.

Moon jar

Second half of the 18th century

A distinctive type of porcelain from the late Joseon period, the moon jar (Korean: dalhangari)—so called because of its evocative form—was usually made by joining two hemispherical halves. The peach hue of the glaze, unintentionally acquired during firing, adds to the charm of this jar.

Brush holder with lotus decoration

Mid-19th century

Scholarly men of the Joseon dynasty collected and used tasteful accessories, such as this piece and the water droppers, for writing or painting. The lotus is an emblem of the Confucian scholar aptly used here to ornament an object for his study.

Ring-shaped water dropper

19th century

To prepare ink for calligraphy or painting, a Joseon scholar might have used this instrument to drip water onto an inkstone for grinding an ink stick. Porcelain water droppers, often in whimsical shapes and with or without painted decoration, were fashionable during the nineteenth century.

Maebyeong with lotus decoration

late 11th–early 12th century

The effect of the delicately carved lotus design under the translucent celadon glaze is subtle. Literally meaning “plum bottle,” maebyeong is a shape inspired by contemporaneous and earlier Chinese vessels. Korean celadon maebyeong developed fuller forms: broad shoulders, as in this piece, or curvilinear contours.

Maebyeong decorated with cranes and clouds

Second half of the 12th century

The cranes and clouds, popular motifs on Goryeo celadon, are delicately yet expressively rendered. Set against the green color of the glaze, they appear to be floating in the sky.

청자 상감 구름 학 무늬 매병 고려靑磁象嵌雲鶴文梅甁 高麗Maebyeong decorated with cranes and clouds, Korea, late 13th century

Met Museum New York

Provenance: Desmond FitzGerald , New York, his sale: Chinese and Korean Potteries and Porcelains: Collection of Desmond FitzGerald, April 22–23, 1927, lot 450, to MMA

This quintessentially Korean maebyeong (plum bottle), with its voluptuous form and an eye-catching design of large cranes and clouds, was produced at the famous celadon kiln site at Buan Yucheon-ri in North Jeolla Province. The gold repair on the mouth indicates that the bottle was once a treasured piece in a Japanese collection. [text source: @metmuseum] 

Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as Kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. [text source: @wikipedia]

Green-glaze wares, or celadons, have been admired by people in different parts of the world for centuries. The word “celadon” is believed to have come from the French pastoral novel “L’Astrée,” for a shepherd named Céladon who wears green-gray ribbons.
