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.

Buncheong Ware, with its distinctive texture, is uniquely Korean in origin. A top layer of light-coloured clay (the 'slip') veils the darker clay below. Drips and brush strokes made at the moment the slip is applied remain in the final work; this is the unique charm of the art form.
