Korean Ceramics from the Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka
January 25, 2000–June 11, 2000
Arts of Korea Gallery, 2nd Floor
The 48 exquisite works on loan from the distinguished collection of the Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka, represent the period of highest achievement in the Korean peninsula's long ceramic tradition. Dating from the 12th to the 19th century, the selection includes luminous jade–green celadon wares of the Koryo dynasty (918–1392) as well as superb examples of the innovative stoneware known as punch'ong and white porcelains of the Choson dynasty (1392–1910). The objects are exhibited alongside the Metropolitan's own Korean art collection in the Museum's permanent Arts of Korea gallery, which was inaugurated in June 1998.
