The first piece’s form has a small neck and and foot, but the body looks like a pumpkin. The texture looks scratched with lines emphasizing the leaves and the veins on the body. The second piece’s form is balanced with an equal lip and foot. The color of the dragon has multiple hues of blue to make the viewer see the detail of each part of the dragon and to make your eyes wonder around the jar. The last piece’s lines indicate a start of a new leaf and the color of the clay in between makes the leaves stand out. The color of the jar seems like a sand color making the viewer believe the leaves left an imprint in the sand.

The vessels are all symmetrical by the form because they would be the same on each side if they were cut vertically. The maker/culture is Korea during the Joseon Dynasty.  Lastly, they are all vessels without handles meaning that there isn’t any negative space on the outside of the vessel.

Joseon Dynasty Cermaic

I chose this vessel because I like the faded leaves on the body.
