The Korean national treasure, Ahn Dong Oh (1919-1989) began making pottery in 1953 when studied at the Kasungsasamaeng Pottery Studio (가승사사맹도자연구소). He is celebrated for his work in porcelain, having mastered celadon glazing, which is notoriously difficult, as well as white porcelain and transparent glazes, with its deeply flawless surfaces. His vessels comprise classical Song dynasty forms that feature delicate fluting and complex engraving, all executed with an extremely high level of precision and technical skill. He also created many sometsuke, or blue and white painted ceramics in his life, as in this water dropper. Prized among collectors in Korea and Japan, his works have made their way to institutions in the west such as the British Museum and more.
In 1967, Ahn established the Folk Pottery Studio (민속도요) in Kwangju, Kyunggido. This studio became a sanctuary for potters and students of folk craft. Ahn Dong Oh's impact on the world of ceramics was officially recognized in 1976 when he was designated as an Intangible Cultural Asset for pottery.
