Jar decorated with dragons Korea 17th century This jar is decorated with two dragons pursuing a flaming jewel. The dragons are whimsically and dynamically rendered through energetic brushwork using iron-brown pigments rather than cobalt blue or copper red—colorants that were less readily available during the Joseon’s recovery after repelling invasions in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The jar’s buoyant, slightly asymmetrical silhouette is similar to that of so-called moon jars, undecorated white porcelain jars popular in the17th and 18th centuries. View more.
