White Faceted 3-Tier Box

This work embodies the restraint and subtlety in the tradition of Korean White Porcelain, refinement passed down over generations.

The glaze is transparent with a very slight blue-green tint, and a subtle gloss.  There are a few tiny grey or black iron specks on the surface. On the underside the boxes are signed by the artist in cobalt underglaze.
