A shoal of minnows is swimming upwards on the clear jade blue stream covering the voluminous body of this celadon ceramic ball jar. The fish are vividly captured as if alive by the traditional technique of black and white slip inlaying. It is a fine work of art where the tradition of Goryeo celadon celebrating the beauty of nature is in perfect harmony with the fish design drawn in a modern style. Korean celadon pottery is renowned the world over since Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392) for its exquisite inlaid designs, voluminous form, elegantly-curved lines and mysterious color, the color of the sky after a rainstorm during an autumn afternoon.
