Covered Jar

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Covered Jar, created by artist Su Samelong, is a ceramic piece featuring a predominantly white body with blue decorative elements. The jar has a rounded body that tapers slightly at the top and bottom. A brown lid sits atop the jar. The body showcases a blue and white design, predominantly featuring a bird in flight amidst swirling clouds and foliage motifs. The base of the jar and the lid are a terracotta color, contrasting with the white and blue of the body. The overall design and color scheme are characteristic of traditional Korean ceramics.
