Description: Rare Korean Joseon Dynasty Brass Wine Kettle w 2 Cups BangJaYuGi. These are one of the oldest Korean brassware we have seen over the years. We have only seen couple of these kettles in span of 50 years and they were both in a museum in Korea.Korean brassware have been big part of daily life since Goryo dynasty to 1945 or just before the Korean war. These brassware were probably made around last 2 quarters of 19th century.Some of these items were hand made hence the different shapes and some with visible hand hammering mark. Early on brassware was reserved for the upper class and the nobles but during it's peak (19th century) they became available to most Koreans.After the Korean war Koreans resorted to new and more popular materials such as stainless and plastic. Korean brassware have made a comeback in the restaurant industry with newer and lighter designs.
