Description

Pair of 20th Century Korean Mother-of-Pearl Inlaid Vases

This pair of vases exemplifies 20th-century Korean craftsmanship, with each vase featuring ornate mother-of-pearl inlays that create compelling scenes. Each vase vividly depicts a prowling tiger in a natural setting, with elegant pheasants amidst lush floral arrangements under a moon of inlaid shell. The contrasting imagery against the glossy black lacquer finish emphasizes the mastery of inlay techniques, typical of fine Korean decorative arts.

Condition: Both vases exhibit age appropriate wear, including cracked and flaking lacquer around the belly, indicative of their age and the fragility of their hand crafted construction.

Dimensions: Height: 29 inches; Diameter: 14 inches; Weight: Approximately 7 lbs each.
