Large White Ovoid Jar
Joseon Dynasty 19th c. Korea
Height: 37 cm
A large jar of elongated ovoid form covered in a white glaze. The mouth is slightly splayed outwards with a charmingly uneven profile. The straight foot tapers slightly inward and has unglazed areas fired to a dark gray color.
These jars are similar in type and finish to “moon jars” of the 18th - 19th centuries, but of more elongated form.
Condition:
There are two old large mouth rim chips repairs.
Provenance:
John R. Menke Collection
