Korean Celadon Ritual Incense Burner Joseon Dynasty
About the Item
An antique Korean ritual incense burner circa 19th century (late Joseon dynasty). This type of porcelain incense burner was made in Bunwon Kiln in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Do, near Seoul. Used in ceremonial occasions, the vessel was potted in steady and thick walls and the surface was covered in a whitish celadon glaze. It is of an archaic Chinese form with rounded body and two ears, each pierced with three dots. Interestingly, the cover features groups of cutout trigrams in the shapes of four of the eight Bagua (Palgwae in Korean) symbols that represent Water, Matal, fire and thunder respectively. Despite its vernacular appearance, incense burner like this has a strong religious significance and was believed to be used on the altar table in the Buddhist temple for worshiping.
