A COPPER-RED-DECORATED SOLIFLORE VASE, JOSEON DYNASTY
朝鮮王朝釉裏紅花卉紋瓶

Sold for €2,600

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details


Expert’s note:
This exquisite vase acquired a uniquely graceful form, reminiscent of a flower turning towards the sun, due to its tilting during the firing process. Its beauty makes it a perfect fit for a soliflore. At some point in the early 20th century, after the vase reached Europe, a neatly fitted wood stand was added to ‘correct’ its tilted shape. However, it's now up to the new owner to decide whether they prefer to display the vase with or without this stand.

Korea, late 17th - 18th century. The pear-shaped vase with a slender neck and flared mouth, well painted in copper-red beneath the soft grayish-white glaze with stylized flowerheads, borne on leafy scrolling vines framed by line borders below scroll and geometric designs.

Provenance: French trade. Acquired from an old French private collection of Korean ceramics and works of art.
Condition: Obvious flaws including tilting, pitting, browning, kiln grit, glaze oxidization and minor fading to the copper-red. Some wear and small chips with associated kintsugi repairs. Overall presenting exceptionally well.

Weight: 631.8 g (excl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 21 cm (excl. stand) and 26 cm (incl. stand)

朝鮮王朝釉裏紅花卉紋瓶

韓國, 十七世紀末。梨形瓶,敞口,細頸,柔和的灰白釉下銅紅釉裏紅繪製纏枝花卉紋。肩部和足部有弦紋。
