Fine 18th Century Dark Blue Fish Form Water Dropper
Korean Scholar's Fine 18th Century Dark Blue Fish Form Water Dropper de-accessioned from the Cleveland Museum. 3.5w x 3d x 1.25h inches, 9w x 7.5d x 3.25h 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.
