Ten-Sided White Porcelain Water Dropper with Maple Leaf
Korean Scholar's Ten-Sided White Porcelain Water Dropper with Maple Leaf. 3.5w x 3.5d x 2h inches, 9w x 9d x 5h cm. Korean antique water droppers were prized by Korean scholars of yesterday, and are treasured by collectors of today. A scholar's water dropper was a symbol of his refinement and good taste. In keeping with the Korean Confucian gentleman's aesthetic, artifice and colorful designs that catered to base instincts were to be avoided, while a natural and deep respect for nature was to be upheld.
