Large jar with peony decoration, Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), late 15th century. Buncheong ware with incised and sgraffito design. H. 15 in. (38.1 cm); Diam. 10 7/8 in. (27.6 cm). Rogers Fund, 1916, 16.122.1. © 2000–2017 The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The boldly rendered peony flowers and leaves here capture the essence of the exuberant plant, which symbolizes wealth and prestige. The technique of incising the design’s outlines and carving away the background through the white slip is characteristic of buncheong vessels produced in Jeolla Province.
