Intaglio Green Angle Bottle Vase

This exquisite intaglio bottle vase has subtle floral designs carved into the surface of the clay. A gold edge adorns the lip of the bottle.

The technique used in the creation of this work is actually the Korean Sanggam technique most famously used in Goryeo celadon pottery (10th-14th centuries)

This involves incising designs into the clay surface (Intaglio) and then inlaying those carved lines with contrasting coloured slip - typically white or black.

After inlaying the surface is smoothed so the inlay is flush, it is then glazed resulting in a subtle, elegant design visible beneath the translucent glaze. 

Stunning in a dark green glaze with green dots applied, this piece can only have come from the studio of this award winning husband-and-wife ceramic artist duo, Sang Sool Shim and Keum Sun Lee.    

The Studio's Yang mark, symbolising the Yang side of the Yin-Yang philosophy of harmony, balance and energy, is clearly embossed on this beautiful vase.
