| Description | ||||
| In 1992, the Minstry of Information drew up a master plan for redesigning of definitive postage stamps to replace the former ones, which have been in use for a long time.
The Celdon Pitcher is a kettle with four pomegranates structured in two layers like weights. The body of the kettle is jade green on which white dots have been added to enhance the effect of depicting the pomegranates, The handle of the kettle resembles a curved pomegranate branch, whereas the spout is in the shape of the fruit. It is 18.4cm high with a diameter of 17.5cm and the diameter of its spout is 3.4cm. This kettle, made in the early 12th century, is exhibited at the National Museum of Korea. The Ministry of Communications has issued this postage stamp, paying tribute to the superb artistry and culture of our ancestors. |
