Asian Art Galleries

A subtle design of sprouting bamboo shoots adorns the surface of this ewer. The luminous green celadon glaze, produced by the conversion of ferrous oxide in the firing process, was developed in China in the 10th century and found its greatest expression in Korea during the Goryeo Period.
