Bottle https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/101615
From "Korean Art Collection in the Brooklyn Museum" catalogue: This buncheong bottle with flattened, oval body is decorated with peony design applied via the use of bakji (sgraffito) technique. The technique involves a process of scratching off the background outside an incised design to reveal a different color underneath so that a contrast of colors is achieved between the incised form still maintaining the white slip coating and the gray background surrounding it where the coating is removed. The technique saw a major development during the reign of King Sejong and was favored by the potters in the Jeolla province. The delightfully neat figure combined with the carefree expression of the peony design makes it one among finer pieces of buncheong works remaining today.

Bottle with Incised and Sgraffito Fish Design https://clevelandart.org/art/1962.153
This whimsical bottle is classified as <em>Buncheong</em> 분청 (literally, powdered green). Flourishing during the 1400s–1500s, Buncheong indicates pottery with iron-rich clay decorated with white slip. After firing, the color of the clay body usually became greenish-gray due to its high iron content. Korean artists tried to emulate the white porcelain wares of the Chinese Ming period, although the result was not the same. On the surface coated with white slip, the image of a smiling fish is carved in bold lines, a technique distinctive to Jeolla province, a southwest region of the Korean peninsula.

Jar with Scroll Design https://clevelandart.org/art/1963.505
This vessel was used for burying a placenta, a custom practiced by aristocratic families in Korea in the belief that it would bring happiness to the child. This jar was placed inside another wide-mouthed jar then buried inside an outer stone box. This rare jar has a bluish-green tone commonly seen in Buncheong ware. Pots were coated with a white slip, and then decorative designs were added using a combination of inlaid and stamped techniques. This style emerged in the 1400s, and then disappeared after the 1500s due to the popularity of white porcelains.

Vase https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/167035
Buncheong ware wide-shouldered bottle (Korean: maebyeong) with narrow neck and everted rim. Crane and lotus design between lappet bands inlaid with black and white slip under celadon glaze. Foot rim uneven. The exaggerated S-curve of wide shoulder, narrow waist, and flaring base is typical of transitional maebyeong forms in early Joseon dynasty. The inlaid slip is rougher than those in the Koryo [sic] dynasty, and the design is usually divided into horizontal sections. Citation: McKillop, Beth, "Korean Art and Design": Victoria and Albert Museum, 1992, pp.63-64, pl.22. Condition: rim damaged and repaired. (From original catalogue card) The maebyeong, or prunus vase form, evolved in the celadons of Goryeo and was later developed in buncheong ware in the early Joseon dynasty, although white porcelain maebyeongs were rarely made. This vase possesses the distinctive S-curve of maebyeong made in the period between late Goryeo and early Joseon dynasties. With the design on the body divided into four horizontal areas, the vase is decorated with a band of lotus petals inlaid on the shoulder and the base. The central portion is decorated with lotus, willow, and birds in black and white inlay. The layout of the designs shows influence from Goryeo celadon wares with inlaid designs from the fourteenth century, but detailed expressions are noticeably exaggerated and distorted. It is a fine work of art illustrating the distinctive features of the Joseon buncheong ware made in the fifteenth century. From "Korean Art Collection in the Brooklyn Museum" catalogue.

Art at the Leeum in Itaewon

I'd always associated the 리음 with modern art and never realized they have an absolutely incredible collection of traditional Korean art, too! The 청자 (celadon), 분청사기 (buncheong), and 백자 (white porcelain) were marvelous and the spaces and presentation lovely!

The rings represent the planets in our solar system and there are mirrors on the opposite wall and on a high ceiling which makes the stairway feel very expansive in a cool way!

The difference in color between the bottom floor of the pagoda versus the walls of the different levels of the pagoda was not something that I noticed right away.

I feel more inclined to put the buncheong pagoda on display as decorative art, while I feel more inclined to use the buncheong ceramics solely to store liquids and other foodstuffs.

While the buncheong pagoda from 2006 and the buncheong ceramics from the late 1400s are both considered buncheong stoneware, they differ in decoration and function.

This piece prompted me to ask myself if the pagoda buncheong being made in 2006 as opposed to the late 1400s changed the reason(s) to make the piece and how to make the piece.

I was confused, to a degree, about the lack of motifs in this buncheong pagoda. Much of the other buncheong pieces included botanical motifs like peonies, scrolls, plantains, and lotus petals. However, the flat surfaces of this pagoda are undecorated.

This piece particularly caught my attention as the use of red clay made the colors of this buncheong artwork stand out from the other buncheong pieces that I saw. I was additionally surprised to see buncheong that was not a jar or made for storage purposes.

As many of the connections I made during this visit to the Denver Art Museum involved buncheong, I decided to focus on this buncheong piece in the Korean art section.

Most of those buncheong ceramics were muted greens, pastel blues, or an opal white. Both the buncheong ceramics in the Perfectly Imperfect exhibition and the Korean art section featured similar motifs of peonies and scrolls. Other botanical motifs were used as well.
