Product Description

( ( (I am selling these as a bulk set rather than selling them separately with free shipping.) ) ) Wooilyo Eunjeon Kim Yik-yung (旴一窯 殷田 金益寧, Kim Yik-yung, February 19, 1935~, Graduate of Seoul National University College of Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering, Master of Fine Arts from Alfred University College of Ceramics and Glass in New York, USA, Curator of the National Museum Art Department, Visiting Lecturer at Kyoto City University of Arts, Japan 1965~98, 15 Solo Exhibitions, Professor of the Department of Craft and Design at Kookmin University. Kim Yik-yung Ceramic Studio (Woo) 110-360 Waryong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, TEL: 763-2562 FAX: 745-4100) is an old five-colored white porcelain (五色白磁) duck box by the master - .In 1978, the late President Kim Tae-wook established Wooilyo (旴一窯) and has been working on art pieces together with his sister, Master Kim Yik-yung. The Wooilyo seal consists of combinations such as Wooilyo (旴一窯), Eunjeon (殷田), and Tojeon (土田). Among these, Eunjeon (殷田) and Tojeon (土田) are the pen names of Master Kim Yik-yung, with Eunjeon (殷田) being used earlier than Tojeon (土田). Tojeon (土田) began to be used after the mid-2000s, and as Master Kim Yik-yung began running an independent studio a few years ago, Wooilyo removed the artist's pen name Tojeon (土田) from the seal; recently, the Wooilyo seal has been '旴一窯' written vertically. As these are handcrafted works, there are individual differences, and even for the same piece, the shape or pattern may vary depending on the period. The ceramics of Master Kim Yik-yung of Wooilyo (旴一窯) have been made with a manual touch, and although there may be differences between those made with a potter's wheel and those made with molds, the color, shape, and pattern have consistently maintained Master Kim Yik-yung's standards for Wooilyo (旴一窯) - .As shown in the photo, the seal is marked as '旴一窯 殷田'. Based on the first photo, for the female duck on the right, the cross-sectional width from the beak to the tip of the tail is approximately 18cm, the height from the ground to the head is approximately 11.5cm, and the cross-sectional width (breadth) of the duck's body when viewed from above is approximately 11cm - .Based on the first photo, for the male duck on the left, the cross-sectional width from the beak to the tip of the tail is approximately 21.5cm, the height from the ground to the head is approximately 10cm, and the cross-sectional width (breadth) of the duck's body when viewed from above is approximately 8.5cm. There may be slight errors in the size markings, so please be sure, absolutely sure, to check the size by referring to the disposable lighter shown in the photo. Please - .The condition is good, with no cracks, breaks, chipped edges, or scratches from cleaning; there are only some blemishes and rough textures present since the production of the work - .The ducks included in Master Kim Yik-yung's works carry much meaning. The duck is one of the most familiar water birds to us, and the character for duck, 'ap' (鴨), can be decomposed to obtain the character 'gap' (甲), meaning 'the best,' which is used as its symbolic meaning. In other words, the duck can be considered an auspicious pattern containing the wish for passing the highest grade in the state examination. Since ducks, as water birds, have the entire natural environment including the sky, land, and water as their activity area, they were thought of as divine birds that travel between this world and the afterlife, thus carrying the symbol of a mediator between humans and gods. Furthermore, because ducks survive even in water disasters such as floods, they were believed to be guardian deities that prevent floods and fires; this is why you see a duck carved at the very top of a Sotdae (sacred pole) erected at the entrance of fishing villages. Additionally, along with being a symbol of fertility, the duck is a symbol of couples; since it is said that a duck will not find another mate if it loses its partner, it has been regarded in folk tradition as a symbol of fidelity and affection between spouses or of a hundred years of harmony - .This is a pair of old five-colored white porcelain (五色白磁) duck boxes by Master Wooilyo Eunjeon Kim Yik-yung (旴一窯 殷田 金益寧, Kim Yik-yung, February 19, 1935~ ), which would be a great piece to collect - .I hope they go to a good person who will be satisfied rather than dissatisfied and will cherish them well. Have a pleasant time always. ^^.
