An antique Korean ritual incense burner circa 19th century, late Joseon dynasty. It was made in Bunwon Kiln in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Do, near Seoul. The ceramic container has a thickly body with white bluish celadon glaze. It is of an archaic Chinese form with rounded base and two ears. Interestingly, the cover features groups of pierced trigram in the shapes of four of the eight Bagua (Palgwae in Korean) symbols: Kan, Li, Dui and Zhen. Incense burner like this has a strong religious significance and was believed to be used on the altar table in the Buddhist temple for worshiping.
An nearly identical piece from Philadelphia Museum of Art Accession Number 2000-80-12a,b was featured in a touring exhibition "Treasures from Korea Arts and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty 1392-1910" and illustrated in the catalog of the same name on page 219. See photo.
