Korean, Goryeo dynasty, 918–1392 Place made: Korea Maebyong vessel, 12th–13th century Stoneware with inlaid decoration of crane and clouds under celadon glaze h. 36.0 cm., diam. 21.0 cm. (14 3/16 x 8 1/4 in.) Museum purchase, Trumbull-Prime Fund y1929-406 Gallery Label: This vessel, with its broad shoulders and voluptuous S-shaped profile, exemplifies the Goryeo vessel type called maebyeong. It is decorated with white cranes and clouds that presumably float in the "sky" of the celadon glaze. To create the special technique of sanggam inlay, a design was engraved into the clay body and then filled with white or black clay. Afterward, the entire object was glazed and fired to a celadon hue. While this maebyeong is sparsely decorated, other examples of sanggam are more ornate, with intricate, repetitive designs. Modern reproductions of Goryeo celadon frequently emulate the maebyeong vase type Text from: artmuseum.princeton.edu/collections/objects/18727

Gourd-Shaped Ewer Period: Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) Date: early 12th century Culture: Korea Medium: Stoneware with carved and incised decoration of waterfowl and reeds under celadon glaze Dimensions: H. 10 1/2 in. (26.7 cm); W. 7 7/8 in. (20 cm) Classification: Ceramic Credit Line: Fletcher Fund, 1927 Accession Number: 27.119.2 Description: A magnificent example of Goryeo celadon, this ewer highlights the potter's technical sophistication and creativity in adapting a motif from nature, the double gourd, into a practical and appealing ceramic vessel. The design of ducks and geese amid reeds demonstrates an appreciation for pictorial realism. High-quality celadon, which was produced around two major regions—Gangjin and Buan, in the southwestern part of the peninsula—was considered a luxury item during the twelfth century and used primarily by royalty and members of the aristocracy living in and around the capital city, Gaeseong. Goryeo celadon was especially prized in East Asia for its beautiful form, clean lines, subtle green color, and evocative or playful decoration.
