Unknown

second half 19th century · Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue and copper-red design · Asian Art

The shape of this jar—with its globular body, long neck, and rolled rim—is typical of nineteenth-century Korean porcelain, as is the swiftly rendered, bold decoration. The flash of color from the copper-red pigment enlivens the peony flower and adds to the piece’s appeal.
