Joseon Dynasty Hoeryong Ware Jar
A majestic straw-ash glazed jar fired in Hoeryong or Myeongcheon County, North Hamgyong Province, during the late Joseon dynasty. It features a distinctive abacus-ball shape, curvy waist, and splendid kiln alteration. Since it is prepared with a coated lid and drawstring pouch, it was repurposed into a Mizusashi (freshwater container). The sea cucumber glaze from the same area has been suggested to be related to the Yuan Jun ware. Still, there is no evidence that Jun ware-related techniques were used in northeastern China, and its origins remain shrouded in mystery.
The foot has kiln damage and chips. There is also a thin hairline beside the foot, but no water leakage. It comes with an old box with the words “Hoeryong Mizusashi”, accompanied by a drawstring bag and a coated lid.
