Subject:Small Jar
Posted By: Jim Sun, Apr 13, 2014 IP: 74.61.20.118

I'd like to know who made this little jar, what it's purpose is, and when it was made. It measures about 3.5" tall by 3.5" diameter. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is a modern Korean product. They are very well made emulating the earlier potters, however they are not very valuable.

Cheers

Jim

no particular purpose, this is recently made in the style of Korean celadons. Not sure how the mark is read on the bottom other than the first character is pronounced Kim and can be a common surname.
