Long-Necked Bottle
The Korean potter Lee In-chin made this exquisite ceramic vessel in July 2008 during a month-long stay at Alfred University, New York, which is renowned for its ceramics school. Using local clay, glaze, and a wood-burning kiln, the artist created a thoroughly modern interpretation of a traditional Korean art form: a long-necked celadon bottle from the Goryeo period (918–1392).
