- Lot Description
East Asia, Korea, Joseon Dynasty, ca. 19th century CE. A pair of Korean porcelain water droppers painted with blue and maroon floral motifs on a creamy-white ground. The larger water dropper presents with a round base, an octagonal body, and a flat top. Four sides of this elegant vessel are adorned with characters from Korean script in a blue hue. Alternatively, the smaller water dropper displays a square body and gently curved top, all sitting upon four square feet. Two of its sides are painted with Korean script characters, while the other two have a nautical wave-like figure, all in blue. A gorgeous design of blue and maroon flowers embellishes the tops of both beautiful pieces. Scholars during the Joseon Dynasty used inkstones to grind ink sticks, which they would wet before the grinding process to make ink flow more readily. In the 19th century, fancifully shaped water droppers for wetting the ink sticks like these became fashionable. This pair of vessels comes with a padded box covered in dark blue fabric. Size of largest: 4.375" W x 2.2" H (11.1 cm x 5.6 cm)
Provenance: private California, USA collection acquired prior to 2015
