The six faces turn the piece into a continuous scroll — each panel a different arrangement of branch, each transition a small surprise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ BASIC DETAILS ]\u003cbr\u003e- Artist\/Maker: Gwangju Kiln (廣州窯), Korea\u003cbr\u003e- Title: White Porcelain Kogo (白磁香合)\u003cbr\u003e- Dimensions: Approx. diameter 6.7 cm, height 3.2 cm\u003cbr\u003e- Condition: Good antique condition; craquelure throughout is age-consistent\u003cbr\u003e- Comes with: Original tomobako (wooden box) inscribed \"白磁 香合 廣州窯\" with red seal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Gwangju kilns of Gyeonggi Province supplied the Joseon royal court for centuries. White porcelain — baekja — was the material language of Confucian restraint: clarity over ornamentation, structure over excess. The craquelure that now maps this surface was not intended but has become inseparable from what this piece is — a record of its own aging, rendered in a fine network of lines that give the white glaze its depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIron-red (辰砂, jinsha) and cobalt blue (gosu) together on white porcelain represent a meeting of mineral vocabularies. The plum — first bloom before the snow retreats — carries its own cultural weight in both Korean and Japanese contexts: endurance made visible, not celebrated. For chado, this kogo arrives with a pedigree that exceeds ornament. It is a document of a ceramic tradition that shaped Japanese sensibility across the water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ SHIPPING \u0026amp; PACKAGING ]\u003cbr\u003e• Dispatch: Within 1-6 business days\u003cbr\u003e• Carrier: Japan Post EMS \/ UPS (with tracking)\u003cbr\u003e• Packaging: Carefully wrapped with protective materials\u003cbr\u003e• Insurance: Included for all shipments\u003cbr\u003e• Note: Import duties and taxes may apply depending on your country's regulations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e---\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e廣州窯（韓国・京畿道）の六角形白磁香合。辰砂（鉄赤）で描かれた梅花と呉須の枝が、六面のそれぞれに異なる構図で展開し、器の周囲を一続きの枝景として成立させている。\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e朝鮮王朝の官窯として知られる廣州窯の白磁は、儒教的な清明さを体現する器として制作された。白地に刻まれた貫入は経年の証であり、その細かな亀裂の網目が白釉に奥行きをもたらしている。\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e茶道の香合として用いる場合、この作品が持つ韓国陶磁の文脈は、日本の侘び茶の精神と深く共鳴する。梅の意匠は早春の席にふさわしく、白磁の静けさは香を引き立てる器としての役割を静かに担う。共箱に「白磁 香合 廣州窯」の銘と朱印あり。","brand":"The Modern Zen Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61627501969778,"sku":"260228_a_2217","price":509.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5680\/3698\/files\/m70335743079_1.jpg?v=1772378453","url":"https:\/\/checkout.themodernzenarchive.com\/products\/gwangju-kiln-korean-white-porcelain-kogo-hexagonal-iron-red-plum-tomobako-%e5%bb%a3%e5%b7%9e%e7%aa%af-%e7%99%bd%e7%a3%81%e9%a6%99%e5%90%88","provider":"The Modern Zen Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
