| The simplest form of utilitarian
pottery, Ong-gi ware descends from the earliest
forms of glazed earthenware. These vessels, employed
for cooking and storage in every class of household,
are closest to nature, continuing in unbroken tradition
while our life grew more varied. The vessels vary
in form according to their various functions, and
serve many vital functions.

| There is a sense in which we feel the
Ong-gi ware to be breathing and alive. The pots are large,
round and generous, turned on large wheels. The classic
Korean storage jar, the "Hangari", has been
produced for more than five-thousand years and continues
to call humanity back to natural simplicity. |
