520 2    |a At the time this jar was created, plain white porcelain represented the tastes of Confucian scholars. Yi Kyu-gyong (1788-?), a famous scholar of the late Choson dynasty, wrote: "the greatest merit of white porcelain lies in its absolute purity." In modern Britain, a potter such as Bernard Leach, who was involved in the Japanese mingei (folk crafts) movement in the early part of the twentieth century, held works such as this in high esteem for their unaffected, imperfect beauty that reflected a respect for materials and the process by which pots were made. The asymmetrical break in the curve of the body is the result of joining the upper and lower halves of the body. (Text by John T Carpenter and Yoshiko Yasumura, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.)
