Collection of Three Korean Antique Bronze Bowls

$ 3,600
  • Description
    A collection of three bronze bowls from Korean dated to 14-17th century (late Goryeo to early Joseon Dynasty). It consists of an early example with a slight curvy wall and a high foot ring. The prototype is dated to 13-14th century of Goryeo dynasty, consistent with the early paper label underneath from "Nieman Marcus", which used to sell antiques in the early 20th century. The second bowl is slightly larger, with a simpler rounded form and a shorter foot ring. It features incised lines around the rim and the base. The base appears to have been reattached with two pins historically. The form indicates that it was from a later age circa 16th century of Joseon period. The third, also the smallest one, is undecorated and is also likely from Joseon period.
    All three bowls show striking patina due to the prolonged contact with the earth in the ground. Corrosion and encrustation have resulted in a wonderful antique surface, full of characters. Their respective sizes are 6.125"dia x 4"h; 5.85" dia x 3.5"h; 5.25"dia x 3"h.
    Reference: For two very similar bowls and dating analysis in the collection of Victoria and Albert Musuem in London, see page 110-112 with illustration on page 112. "Korean Art and Design" by Beth Mckillop. (Accession: M.107 dash 1937 and M.103 dash 1937).
    For similar bowls in the collection of Metropolitan Musuem of Art, see Accession no: 51.196
