Vintage Korean Blue and White Porcelain Vases with Magpie and Blossom 

Pair of vintage Korean porcelain blue and white vases, each of globular form with short neck and flared rim. Hand-painted in underglaze blue with scenes of magpies perched among blossoming branches, bamboo, and floral sprays. Bases marked.

Historical Context:

Blue-and-white porcelain painting was introduced to Korea during the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) and reached prominence in the Joseon dynasty (1392–1897). The cobalt-blue decoration, often featuring birds, flowers, and natural themes, reflected Confucian ideals of harmony with nature. The magpie, in particular, is a celebrated motif in Korean art, symbolizing joy, good fortune, and the arrival of happy news.
