These precious little works were crafted by a master's master of Korean ceramics, Lee Kang-Hyo.

The touch of the artist's hands remains in the works; each is uniquely hand shaped, and inscribed with a signature.

Unusually for Buncheong Ware, these works are made of white clay, and the translucent glaze has a very slight jade hue. There are very fine cracks in the glaze, which has only a slight gloss.

Lee Kang-Hyo is one of Korea's most highly-respected ceramic artists. His work is in many international collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Art.

The distinctive texture of Buncheong Ware is uniquely Korean in origin. A dark clay body is covered by a layer of liquid white clay, known as the 'slip'. The slip may be applied by brush, by pouring over or by dipping the vessel, and the drips and brush marks show in the final work; this is the unique charm of Buncheong Ware.
