White porcelain with cobalt blue drawing of a dragon and clouds, this pot is also known as Chunghwa Baekja (靑華白磁). First Chunghwa Baekja in the history of Korea (specifically during the late Choson dynasty) was during the 10th reign year of Saejo (世祖) in 1465. These pots were made with Korean face paint called To-chung (土靑).
"The mouth is upright and the contours are majestically stretched out on the shoulders to become rapidly narrowed towards the lower section in this typical example of a jar produced in the latter part of the Joseon dynasty. The outer rim of the mouth has been encircled with lines of blue painted on both the upper and lower sections. In between the lines, scroll designs have been applied. The shoulder and the lower section of the body have been decorated with the supplementary motif of yeouidu pattern. The center area contains an image of a sinister-looking dragon depicted with liveliness."
- late 8th century Choson dynasty - 38cm - used to contain alcohol, royal palaces - cyanide color image of the dragon is misty except for the dragon's eyes and scales, which are thickly painted with Korean face paint for emphasis
Date: 1750-1850 (made) Materials and Techniques: Porcelain, with underglaze blue "Cobalt-blue pigment was used to paint designs on the white porcelain, then the piece was glazed and finally fired. Underglaze iron oxide was used for creating designs on celadons during the Koryo dynasty (918-1392), but this became especially popular in the 17th century. Underglaze copper-red decoration was first developed in the 12th century, but was virtually unused until the 18th century."
