A vintage Korean celadon covered box decorated with a traditional crane motif.
The small ceramic box is finished in a soft seafoam-green celadon glaze with a delicate crackled surface and inlaid-style crane and floral decoration. The warm exposed clay along the rims makes a lovely contrast with the translucent green glaze.
Crane imagery has a long history in Korean decorative arts and is particularly associated with celadon ceramics. Its quiet palette and beautifully imperfect handmade character make this an especially charming little piece.
At about 3 inches across, it's sized for rings, earrings and other small treasures on a bedside table, dresser or vanity, and it makes a sweet engagement, anniversary or wedding keepsake box.
