Pair of Porcelain Tea cups by Young Sook Park

Offered by: J R Richards

Description
Park Young Sook is one of South Korea's leading ceramic artists. She is particularly known for her work in white porcelain, which is infused with her deep awareness of and compassion for Korea's ceramic heritage.

Her elegant white ceramics recall the pure white ceramics produced in the Choson period in Korea (1392-1910). The influence of Confucian ideals at this time promoted a restrained aesthetic in which pure white ceramics found favour.

While her work looks back to the richness of Korea's ceramic tradition, this is balanced by her own desire to produce pieces that are made to be used and enjoyed within contemporary spaces. This beautiful piece, with its single teardop of underglaze blue decoration, provides a most refined drinking cup.

Message from Seller:

I became interested in the Ceramic Arts; specifically Ancient Chinese Pottery, when my brother Marc; also an art dealer, introduced it to me over 20 years ago. Since then I traveled throughout Asia; including Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea, in search for those special pieces that appeal to the discerning collector, as well as the Designer Market.
