Choi Sung-jae's work combines traditional Korean 'punch'ong' techniques of white slip decoration with contemporary drawn decoration. Punch'ong ceramics were produced in Korea between 1400 and 1600. Decorated with white slip (liquid clay), they often exhibit a freedom and spontaneity that appeals to ceramic artists working in Korea today.
This piece takes the form of a flattened bottle - a traditional shape in Korean ceramics. Choi Sung-jae formed the bottle before covering it in a creamy slip. After allowing the slip to dry just a little, he used his fingertips to quickly sketch an elegant design of ducks in vegetation.
