White Faceted 3-Tier Box

These delicate works embody the restraint and subtlety of the Baekja tradition, refined 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.

The boxes have a gentle atmosphere, showing the work of the artist's hands in the subtle shaping and his signature on the underside.
