| Late 19th Century Rectangular Copper Red and White Porcelain Floral Water Dropper. The Red Chrysanthemum built around the air hole of this dropper was an inspiring symbol of productivity for the diligent scholar who owned this piece 100 years ago. 3w x 2.25d x 1h inches, 7.5w x 5.5d x 2.5h cm. Korean antique water droppers were prized by Korean scholars of yesterday, and are treasured by collectors of today. A scholar's water dropper was a symbol of his refinement and good taste. In keeping with the Korean Confucian gentleman's aesthetic, artifice and colorful designs that catered to base instincts were to be avoided, while a natural and deep respect for nature was to be upheld. | ||
