Jar with Dragon and Clouds, 17th century, Unknown Korean, 16 1/4 in. ( cm), White porcelain with underglaze iron-brown, Korea, 17th century, In addition to designs painted in cobalt blue, Korean potters between the 1600s and 1800s produced many porcelain objects decorated with underglaze iron brown-designs. Possibly because cobalt was an expensive material, blue-and-white vessels tend to be carefully painted. In contrast, Korean potters display a remarkable freedom in their iron-brown designs. Here, a dragon with a humorously long snout coils around the swelling sides of this robust jar
