Ceramic Arts Korea has long been noted worldwide for its ceramic ware, which has developed into one of its most highly developed fine arts. It seems that for as long as Korean people have been around, they have made pottery. After the Silla unification in A.D. 668, Korean potters began to glaze their pieces, usually with yellow or green glazes. These pieces included urns, bowls, cups, and jars, which were sometimes decorated with stamped designs or ink Goryeo celadon with inlaid designs (12th century) drawings. Even roof tiles were decorated in bas-relief. It was during this period that the celadon glaze for which Korea is so famous began to develop. Celadon is the name for the clear, delicate, usually greenish glaze which was refined and developed through to the Goryeo period, when celadon pottery reached its peak. The most common forms of celadonware were dishes, cups, vases, bowls, pitchers, and water droppers used to add water to ink for writing. Various techniques were used to decorate the celadonware, including an inlay technique that was developed during the 12 th century. Other techniques also developed, like carving designs into the clay, reverse inlay, painting the whole piece with different-colored clay, usually white, and scraping it away in designs, or painting designs on the clay with iron underglazes, which would turn black during firing, or copper 41 _ Culture

The celadon which was so popular during Goryeo however, gradually gave way to buncheong and white porcelain during the Joseon dynasty. In contrast to the elegance and delicacy of ornamentation on celadon pieces, buncheong pieces, loosely brushed with white liquid clay, had a freer, more spontaneous charm. They were decorated with stamped or carved designs or were painted with iron glaze. The Japanese liked these Buncheong Pieces buncheong pieces so much that they abducted Korean potters during a 16 th century invasion to produce them in Japan. Later, Korean potters began to decorate white porcelain with iron or copper glaze. The 15 th century technique of painting the pieces with cobalt blue was revived with great success. These blue-and-white pieces, in the form of jars, bowls, dishes, brushholders, and waterdroppers, favored fresh, clear designs and paintings. Today, ceramic arts in Korea are continuously being developed by new artists who show and sell their work in galleries and stores just as artists working in other media do. Did You Know? In a 1994 auction at Christie’s, one of the world’s largest and most reputable art auctioneers, a blue-and-white Joseon platter sold for US$3.08 million. It was the highest price ever paid for a Korean ceramic piece.
