EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 13th-century covered cosmetic box from Korea's Goryeo dynasty is a true testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The intricate design features a petalled rosette, flying cranes, stylized clouds, and layered lotus petals, all meticulously handcrafted with stoneware and celadon glaze. The circular shape of the box adds to its visual appeal, while the vibrant turquoise color against a white background creates a striking contrast. The floral pattern that adorns the lid showcases an incredible attention to detail and brings nature's beauty into this functional object. Although the creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, their talent shines through in every aspect of this piece. It is no wonder that it has found its place among the arts of Asia at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago. As we admire this ceramic treasure today, we are transported back in time to an era when decorative arts were highly valued and celebrated. This cosmetic box not only served as a practical item for storing cosmetics but also as an artistic expression reflecting Korean heritage. With each glance at this photograph print, we can appreciate both the skillful artistry behind its creation and its historical significance within Korea's rich cultural legacy.
