Octagonal with short spout on low foot. Porcelain, decorated in underglaze red and blue with flower and border on top. Yi dynasty. Korea.
W: 8,5 cm</pres:description><pres:content>Korea collections - Joseon, Samlingar från Korea, North Korea, South Korea, This octagonal porcelain water dropper has a domed upper surface and rests on a foot. It has a venting hole on top. The spout for pouring the water is located at the center of one of the eight sides. The upper surface of the water dropper is decorated with a flower and leaf design. The flower with the venting hole at its center is outlined with cobalt blue and the edges of the petals filled in with copper red; leaves were painted in four of the eight corners and a blue line highlights the octagonal edge. The glaze is thick and has a bluish tinge. The glaze has curdled in several locations. The footrim bears traces of kiln sand. The spout was once broken and has been restored. 

Water droppers are essential items that scholars used for painting and writing calligraphy in their study, a room reserved for only men called a “sarangbang”. One can add water with a water dropper to an inkstone on which an ink stick is ground to create ink. Every water dropper has two holes: a spout through which the water could be poured and a venting hole for controlling the waterflow by covering or uncovering the hole with a finger. It was very important to be able to control the amount of water that was added on the inkstone, because different concentrations of the ink produce various effects on the work. By using a water dropper, one could maintain the consistency of the ink to achieve favourable results. Water droppers were often painted with symbolic animals and plant motifs which reflect the Confucian virtues and qualities a scholar gentleman would strive to attain. Just as other stationery articles used by scholars, literati landscape paintings and poetry were also frequently represented in decorative designs on water droppers. The shapes of water droppers varied greatly, from animal-shaped, vegetal or floral forms to geometric or fan-like forms.  , Korea collections - Joseon - Ceramics 2, Korea collections 2 - Joseon - Ceramics 2, Georg von Békésy Collection, Nobel Foundation, 문방구 文房具, 윗부분이 둥글고 바닥에는 굽이 달린 팔각형의 백자 연적이다. 물을 따르는 주구(注口)가 측면 중앙에 있고, 물을 주입하고 물을 따를 때 손가락으로 막아 따르는 물의 양을 조절하는 수구(水口)는 윗면에 뚫려 있다. 청화 안료로 윤곽선을 그리고 동화 안료로 꽃잎의 끝부분을 채색한 꽃 무늬로 수구가 있는 연적 윗부분 가운데를 장식하고 네 곳의 모서리에는 풀 무늬를 그렸으며, 가장자리를 둘러 가며 청화 안료를 칠해 팔각의 형태가 도드라지게 보이도록 했다. 푸른 빛이 도는 유약을 두껍게 입혔는데 여러 군데 뭉쳐 있다. 굽 접지면에는 모래 받침의 흔적이 남아 있다. 주구는 파손되었던 것을 복원한 것이 확인된다. 

연적은 문인들이 사랑방 안에서 글씨를 쓰거나 그림을 그릴 때 사용했던 필수품으로, 연적에 담은 물을 벼루에 떨어뜨려 먹을 갈아 먹물을 만든다. 모든 연적에는 구멍이 두 개가 있어 연적 안에 물을 넣고 또한 나오는 물의 양을 조절할 수 있도록 했다. 벼루에 떨어뜨리는 물의 양을 조절하는 것은 매우 중요했는데, 이는 먹물의 농도에 따라 다양한 효과를 표현할 수 있기 때문이다. 덧붙여 연적을 사용함으로써 먹물의 농도를 일정하게 유지하는 것도 작업의 완성도를 높이는 데 필수적이었다. 연적을 꾸미기 위해 무늬로 그려진 동물이나 식물들이 가진 특성은 선비가 힘써 갖추어야 할 유교적 덕목과 자질에 비유되며 상징성을 지녔다. 다른 문방구와 마찬가지로 연적에도 산수화와 시구(詩句)가 장식적인 문양으로 묘사되기도 했다. 연적의 형태는 동물, 화초, 기하 혹은 부채 모양을 한 것까지 매우 다양하다., Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), 조선 시대 (1392 – 1910), https://sketchfab.com/models/15519c7ceeb24efe82d518151a9f8027, Octagonal porcelain water dropper with
