Vessel with Knobbed Lid, 200s-300s. Korea, Kaya Kingdom (42-562). Stoneware; overall: 34.6 x 29.5 cm (13 5/8 x 11 5/8 in.). This storage vessel is distinguished by its robust, subtly proportioned form and its body color. The purplish-brown surface "skin" is enlivened by a series of smoky black swirling marks that occurred during the firing in the wood kiln. This shape began as a series of clay coils that were pinched and then paddled; however, it spent more time on a potter's wheel to thin and finish its outer surface. The lid received similar, understated attention to detailing and finish.
