Chōsen Hoeryong Ware Double Handled Jar

ARCHIVED

A jar fired in Hoeryong County, North Hamgyong Province, during the Japanese colonial period. It has handles on both sides of the protruding body and is covered in sea cucumber glaze up to the waist. This type of jar is said to have been used throughout Korea for drawing water and cooking rice, and similar shaped jars were made in multiple regions. Although it is a type of vessel rooted in the local climate, the glaze used was imported from Japan, which is from Osaka, according to one theory, and it has a texture completely different from that of Hoeryong ware from the Joseon dynasty.

There are no notable defects other than glaze flakings on the rim and minor chips on the base. A label that seems to be a permit to take out from Korea is affixed on the bottom.
