After a white slip was brushed on, the design areas were scraped away to reveal a large foliate motif suggestive of plantain leaves. The brush marks in the slip and the sgraffito lines overlap, allowing the expansive leaf pattern that fills the body to stand out with striking clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoration is incised in overlapping fine lines, where vein‑like straights meet softly undulating contours. Broad motifs produced by sgraffito combine with the delicate incised lines characteristic of the carved Mishima technique, while the powdery gray‑blue glaze, white clay, and fine crackle cohere into a restrained yet powerful visual effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is rounded; viewed from the front it presents a plump, flattened jar profile, while an oblique view reveals a pronounced sense of depth and volume. The decoration reads differently on each surface, and the piece offers many points of interest, including the flow of the glaze, crazing, and iron spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are old scuffs and soiling on the rim and around the foot. The glazed surface exhibits crazing, stains, iron deposits, and fine scratches. The foot bears adhering sand, and overall the piece displays a mellow, time-worn powder-blue patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flattened jar is equally suited to holding flowers or to being displayed on its own. Placed on a tea shelf or in an alcove arrangement, the powdery pale-blue of the buncheong slip and the lines of the sgraffito decoration quietly shape the space. A wooden storage box is included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52670569283865,"sku":null,"price":195000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/files\/2026062115754.jpg?v=1782051396","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en\/products\/antique-korean-ceramics-116","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
