"CUR" at the beginning of an image file name means that the image was created by a curatorial staff member. These study images may be digital point-and-shoot photographs, when we don\'t yet have high-quality studio photography, or they may be scans of older negatives, slides, or photographic prints, providing historical documentation of the object.
From "Korean Art Collection in the Brooklyn Museum" catalogue:
This buncheong bottle with flattened, oval body is decorated with peony design applied via the use of bakji (sgraffito) technique. The technique involves a process of scratching off the background outside an incised design to reveal a different color underneath so that a contrast of colors is achieved between the incised form still maintaining the white slip coating and the gray background surrounding it where the coating is removed. The technique saw a major development during the reign of King Sejong and was favored by the potters in the Jeolla province. The delightfully neat figure combined with the carefree expression of the peony design makes it one among finer pieces of buncheong works remaining today.
