A Shiny Brown Glazed Globular Vase – Korean - 19th C.
February 2013 Auction by Far East Asian Art

This is a handsome splotchy dark chocolate brown globe shaped vase with a wide opening and a white glaze on the inside. The base is also a white glaze. The brown glaze has some small adhered pieces of grit from the kiln on the sides and base. The vase measures 3 ¾’ high and is 4 ½” diameter at its widest. We date it to the mid to late 19th century and believe it to be of Korean origin, Choson (Joseon) dynasty.
