A SLIP-INLAID CELADON-GLAZED STONEWARE ‘FLORAL’ BOWL, GORYEO DYNASTY
Korea, 12th-13th century. The deep rounded sides rising from a flat base to a slightly incurved rim. Inlaid in white and iron slip to both the interior and exterior with evenly spaced stylized floral sprays, the interior further with a central flowerhead, all beneath the finely crackled celadon glaze.


Provenance:
Collection of Winslow Ames. Property of the Trustees of Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, USA, gifted from the above. The Phillips Academy was founded in 1778 during the American Revolution. The highly selective academy has among its alumni U.S. Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, along with numerous notable politicians, Nobel laureates, and recipients of the Medal of Honor. Edward Winslow Ames Jr. (1907-1990) was a prominent American art historian, author, and museum director. He attended Phillips Academy as a child, and later studied art history at Harvard. He went on to become the founding director of Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London, Connecticut, in 1930. After World War II, he was the first director of Huntington Hartford's Gallery of Modern Art at Columbus Circle in Manhattan, working with the collection before the museum opened to the public. He started collecting drawings and furniture in the 1930s and eventually branched out into European and Asian works of art.

Condition:
Good condition, commensurate with age. Old wear and firing flaws, including a distinct bump to the interior, three spur marks to the base, and pitting. The rim with few minor chips.

Weight: 154.3 g (excl. stand)
Dimensions: Diameter 11.4 cm

With an associated wood stand. (2)


This inlay technique is called 'sanggam',
which was invented by Korean ceramic artists in the twelfth century. The design was incised into the clay body of the vessel and then filled with slip (diluted clay). The excess slip would have been removed before the piece was biscuit fired, then the bottle was covered with a translucent celadon glaze and fired again. The development of the sanggam inlay technique signifies the elegance and innovativeness of Goryeo ceramic production; no similar inlay technique was used by Chinese craftsmen at this time.

這種鑲嵌技術
在韓國被稱為桑乾風格。在這種技術中，陶工將設計雕刻成半乾陶器，並將材料放入黑色或白色粘土的裝飾中。在燒坯之前，多餘的釉漿會被去除，然後瓶子上覆蓋半透明的青瓷釉並再次燒製。
