Maebyong vase with foliage design. Unknown pottery, South Cholla province, Haenam-gun, Chinsan-ri kilns. The maebyong-shaped vase has a short neck with a (replaced) cup-shaped mouth, its sides gently tapering from the rounded shoulder to the slightly spread base, with a low curved footring. The whole vessel is covered with iron-oxide onto which three foliage motifs have been painted in white slip. The slip has in places been thickly applied, almost giving the impression of a relief design. A glossy pale green celadon glaze with a fine crackle has been thinly applied on top. The glaze has pooled towards the base, which is mainly unglazed and has fired a reddish colour; the footring shows traces of fire-clay spurs. Stoneware, thrown, washed with iron-oxide, painted in white slip and celadon-glazed, height 26.5 cm, diameter, rim, 5.3 cm, diameter, foot, 8.5 cm, circa 1050-1150. Koryo Dynasty. Production Note: This type of maebyong was used as a wine vessel, and was made in the kilns at Chinsan-ri, Haenam-gun, South Cholla province, in the second half of the eleventh or first half of the twelfth century.
