This “Celadon Vase” from Korea decorated with floral motifs probably dates from the 10th or 11th century. It is also known as the Maebyong vase, the name of which is the Korean transcription of the famous Chinese term “meiping” (“plum-shaped vase”). Already prized by the Chinese Northern Song (960-1127 AD), this type of work is considered a veritable achievement by potters under the Koryo dynasty (918-1392), whose fame is universal.
