JOSEON DYNASTY (19TH CENTURY) Of high-shouldered ovoid form with tall, upright neck, decorated in cobalt underglaze with two four-clawed dragons chasing the flaming pearl in the midst of scallop-shaped clouds, the wide frieze between cloud and line borders, the foot and rim encircled by narrow single or double-lines of underglaze blue and the whole jar applied with a crackled clear glaze 16 ? in. (41.9 cm.) high
In Korean mythology, the dragon is a benevolent creature that controls the rain and clouds needed for successful crops. The three-claw dragon was employed as a decorative device when potters began to paint with iron-brown underglaze in the late fifteenth century. A fourth claw, as on this jar, was added to show the dragon grasping a flaming pearl, derived from the Buddhist cintamani, or "wish-granting jewel."
