Manchester Art Galley highlights its small but fascinating Korean ceramics collection. Korean ceramics have influenced potters worldwide, but there are very few works in international public collections, due to the country’s historic isolation. The gallery has a rare 500 year old iron painted dragon jar which we are featuring along with works by Jin Eui Kim, Jung Hong Park and Jungwon Park, which demonstrate some of the new directions taking place in contemporary ceramics.
