Goryeo Celadon
Goryeo celadon, a pinnacle of East Asian ceramics, flourished on the Korean Peninsula from the 11th to the 14th century, renowned for its soft blue-green glaze and elegant forms. Although oil jars were practical items for holding oil for lamps, their small, charming appearance and the exquisite coloration of the glaze have made them highly valued as art pieces. This piece stands out with its rounded form and striking glaze finish, combining the delicate charm of fitting in the palm with the distinctive elegance of Goryeo celadon. Its preservation is exceptional, making it a superb example that conveys the craftsmanship beauty of its time.
