Product description
An elegant and rather rare Korean brush holder in the style of Joseon Dynasty scholar's objects, dating from the mid-20th century (1940s-1960s), made of white/gray reticulated porcelain with a fine celadon glaze. It features a cylindrical shape and geometric openwork decoration. The quality of the glaze, the elegant simplicity of the form, and the openwork decoration are reminiscent of Joseon Dynasty pieces intended for scholars and calligraphy workshops. The base bears a calligraphic mark painted in blue under the glaze, likely a Hanja script, freely applied with a brush before firing. It is noteworthy that this type of object is rarely marked.
Beautifully proportioned, it measures 15.5 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter. Despite its age, it is in very good overall condition, appearing as if it were new. There is a slight area of crazing in the glaze on one rim, which hints at its age, as well as a small chip on the underside of the base, invisible when standing. It weighs approximately 800 to 900 grams.
