- Lot Description
East Asia, Korea, Silla Kingdom, ca. 5th to 6th century CE. Wow! A stunning, rare example of a high-fired grey stoneware vase in a style known as a "kobae" for its openwork tall conical foot. The body of the vase expands rapidly into a near-spherical body, a wide neck, and a flaring mouth with a slight rim. Incised around the neck are three registers of tightly spaced waveforms, each separated by raised bands. The bulbous body of the vase features a highly stylized design of eight dancers, all standing side-by-side on a horizontal plane and surrounded by decorative target motifs. Vessels like this one have been found in high status tombs, containing offerings. Indeed, some fascinating offerings have been excavated from Silla period tombs - like soybean paste, red pepper paste, kimchi, and fermented fish sauce. Size: 11.125" in diameter x 14.5" H (28.3 cm x 36.8 cm)
Aside from Chinese stoneware, Korean stoneware from this time period is the oldest known high-fired ware in the world. To make it, Korean artisans had to generate kiln temperatures greater than 1000 Celsius! The characteristic grey color of this vessel and others like it is caused by the reduction of oxygen in the kiln's inner chamber.
