Lot description

Turned and celadon-enamelled stoneware. Also known as Koryo celadon, typical of the dynasty's manufacture. The cup rests on a pedestal and is associated with ceremonial, ritual and courtly uses. During the Koryo dynasty (918-1392), the production of celadon ceramics reached a high degree of technical development, and there was a great boom in pottery centres, mainly in the southwestern region of the Korean peninsula. Although Korean celadons were initially strongly influenced by those produced in the Northern Song dynasty of China, they quickly developed their own characteristics.

Provenance: Faure family collection, France. Maurice Faure (1878-1954), painter and collector, acquired the work in the early 20th century, during his travels and through his connections with important people in Imperial Japan. The work has remained in the same family ever since, passing down through the generations to his great-grandson Yves Faure.
