EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a covered box from the late 12th to 13th century, created by the Korean School. The box, measuring 3.2x4.5x4.5 cm, is made of stoneware and features an exquisite inlaid design of paired cranes under a celadon glaze. The intricate black and white inlays beautifully contrast with the green glaze, creating a stunning visual effect. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece reflects the artistic mastery of the Goryeo period (918-1392) in Korea. Housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA, this artifact holds historical significance as it represents both cultural heritage and artistic excellence. It was generously gifted to the gallery by Mrs. Maureen R. Jacoby in memory of her husband Rolf Jacoby. The delicate depiction of cranes symbolizes longevity and good fortune in Korean culture while also evoking a sense of grace and elegance through their graceful postures. With its small size yet immense beauty, this covered box serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship that existed during this time period. Its presence invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical context within Korean ceramic art. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, viewers are granted access to admire and explore this remarkable piece from centuries past.
