(21.91 x 19.69 x 9.53 cm), White porcelain, Korea, 17th century, From the founding of the Joseon dynasty at the end of the 1300s, Korean potters produced finely crafted, undecorated white porcelain wares that reflected the austere tastes associated with Confucianism, the official ideology of the Joseon rulers. King Sejong (1397-1450) is said to have been served only from pure white vessels. This flask, from the 1600s, was used to decant liquor. Potters produced such flasks by throwing two platelike shapes on the wheel, and then joining them together, rim to rim. Afterward, they attached a spout and foot ring. The very thinly applied celadon glaze allows the brightness of the porcelain to show through. Only in areas where the glaze is thicker can we see its cool, greenish-blue hue.Long neck bottle 14th-15th century China. Long neck bottle 48596Meiping vase early 18th century China. Meiping vase.

It shared many of the movement's concerns, such as creating opportunities for women in the arts. It was the brainchild of Ellsworth Woodworth, who taught drawing and painting at Newcomb, and his brother William Woodward, professor at Tulane University, who was especially interested in developing a pottery program at the college. They hired Mary G. Sheerer, who had trained at both the Cincinnati Art Academy and the Art Students' League in New York, as Instructor of China Decoration and Design, and she would exert an important influence on the direction of the pottery. Ultimately, Newcomb's ceramic program was one of the most successful art potteries, and it enjoyed an almosVase late 18th-first half of the 19th century China. Vase 47370Jug 101 CE-400 CE Syria.
