EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tea bowl (koraijawan) from the late 16th to early 17th century. Crafted by the Korean School, this porcelain masterpiece features a transparent glaze that adds an ethereal touch to its delicate form. Measuring at 7.5x16.7 cm, or approximately 2 15/16 x 6 9/16 in, it is currently housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. What makes this tea bowl truly unique are its gold lacquer repairs, which highlight both its historical significance and artistic value. These intricate repairs not only restore any damage but also add a touch of opulence and elegance to the piece. The fusion of Japanese and Korean influences is evident in this tea bowl's design, making it a testament to cultural exchange during that period. Its clear glaze enhances its overall aesthetic appeal while symbolizing purity and tranquility - essential qualities for enjoying a peaceful tea ceremony. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exceptional photography skills, we can now appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable work of art. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to marvel at the craftsmanship and beauty captured within this ancient tea bowl from centuries past.
