Celadon Lidded Jar

This celadon jar dates from the Joseon dynasty and stands 23.4 cm high, with a mouth diameter of 10.8 cm and a base diameter of 12.3 cm. The mouth rim is rolled into a rounded form, and the shoulder flares out sharply before gradually narrowing toward the base. The body is wide in relation to its height, giving the jar a sense of volume. The lid has a low, stepped profile topped with a bud-shaped knob, and its rim is thickened. Celadon glaze covers the entire surface, but its uneven application has left the colour slightly mottled. In the shape of both the jar and its lid, this piece resembles white porcelain jars of the early Joseon period.
