Kundika Bottle Celadon with Incised Flower / 12th Century / Korean Antique
About the Item
A "Johin" is a vase used to hold pure and clean water. According to the ancient Buddhist scripture "Lotus Sutra," it was originally one of the 18 tools that Buddhist monks were required to possess, but later came to be used as a vessel for offering clean water to the Buddha. During Korea's Goryeo period, it was also commonly used as a water storage container.
The vase is adorned with delicate floral patterns engraved with fine lines on its front and back. Among other Goryeo celadon Johin, this piece boasts exceptional glaze colors. Its form is graceful and its condition is superb, worthy of being displayed in a museum. A wooden box is included.

- Moon Jar 'Dalhanari', Lot3 / 17th Century / Korean Antiques / Joseon DynastyLocated in Kyoto-shi, KyotoThis is a white porcelain jar from the mid-Joseon period, also known as a "Talhunari" or "moon jar". During the Joseon Dynasty, which was strongly influenced by Confucianism, the purity of white porcelain was particularly prized in its artistic expression due to its Confucian sensitivity. The defining characteristic of white porcelain during this period was its pure white color, but there were many subtle variations in the white hues, with some being classified as milky white, snowy white, ashen white, and bluish white. The term "Talhunari" means "moon jar" in Korean, and it refers to the large, round shape of the jar, resembling a full moon. It was named by Kim Whanki, a representative abstract painter of Korea. The soft, curving lines and sturdy body that seems to embrace the full moon give the jar both power and tranquility. This type of jar was produced in large quantities during the 17th century. The white of the moon jar is not the pure white of early Joseon porcelain...Category
