Vase, anonymous, c. 1100 - c. 1199
In the early 12th century, Korean potters succeeded in crafting a distinct kind of stoneware, setting it apart from Chinese products. This stoneware featured translucent glazes, organic shapes, and refined decorations and was used at court as tableware and in rituals. The motifs in this vase were carved into the unfired stoneware, and later filled in with white and brown slip.
