Celadon Cup and Stand

Goryeo, 12th c.
h. = 11 cm (4.3 in)
Daegu National Museum

The color and shape of this small cup and stand introduce the virtues of Goryeo celadon in miniature; even the irregular flare of the lip (which is often seen in this design) adds a happy note of informality to the piece.
