Item No. WWTT063 Item Name: Joseon Dynasty White Porcelain Water Dropper with Incised Lotus Flower Design, Inherited Ceramics Size: Approximately 6.5cm wide x 2.5cm high x 4.6cm deep Weight: Approximately 80g Antique Dealer License: Fukuoka Prefectural Public Safety Commission, No. 901141810025 Description: Joseon Dynasty ceramics were primarily Buncheong ware in the early period, but changed to white porcelain after the 17th century. Influenced by white porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties of China, the color became bluish in the 17th century, and changed to a cloudy white in the late Joseon Dynasty. In the Joseon Dynasty, the production of porcelain was carried out by artisans who were slaves in the official kilns. In 1752, a branch kiln was established in Gwangju and became the center of production, but in 1883, the branch was privatized, and the history of the official kilns ended.
