About the sculpture
The artist Cho Young Kook successfully combines traditional Korean ceramic traditions with a modern individual style. In this sculpture the artist has covered the stoneware form in white slip and a transparent glaze which has crackled during firing. After firing black ink was brushed over the entire surface and then washed off, leaving ink residue in the cracks in the glaze. Cho Young Kook's sculpture can be compared to the celadon wares of the Koryo dynasty (AD 918-1392), which in part are characterised by their splendid crackled glazes.
