Celadon Maebyeong, Vase with Plum Blossoms, Bamboos and Cranes with inlaid design

Plum blossoms that endure the cold and bloom in early spring and bamboo that stays green throughout the seasons were adored by many
at the time as symbols of the integrity and fidelity of an archetypical man of virtue. This maebyeong featuring an impressive design of bamboo swaying in the wind seems to reflect the ideal world admired by the people of the Goryeo era.
