The Piece
This is a stunning example of traditional Korean Celadon (Cheongja), featuring the iconic "Sanggam" inlay technique. The body is decorated with delicately etched floral patterns, while the base features the classic flying crane and auspicious cloud motifs—symbols of longevity and peace in Korean culture. The vase is finished with a sophisticated ruffled/scalloped rim and a traditional crackle glaze.
This piece is a masterful 20th-century revival of 12th-century Goryeo Celadon. It utilizes the traditional Sanggam inlay technique to depict the 'Crane and Cloud' motif—a classic Korean symbol of longevity and noble spirit. Hand-signed by the artist on the base, it represents the enduring legacy of Icheon pottery craftsmanship
