nation.
In
view of their ground color they are divided into celadon porcelain,
white porcelain, black porcelain, brown porcelain and crimson
porcelain and in view of decoration methods embossed pattern
porcelain, intagliated pattern porcelain, open-worked pattern
porcelain and inlaid pattern porcelain.
Of
them the most famous and mass-produced was celadon, inlaid pattern
celadon in particular.
Koryo
ceramics were produced in
almost all areas of Korea except the northern mountainous area.
Blue
green or jade was the most beautiful and famous of the diverse and
harmonious colors of the Koryo ceramics.
Jade
green on white stone in the clear water reflects the life sentiment
of the Korean people who
like something bright, clean, decent and noble.
The
porcelain of that color was called celadon.
Celadon
became a synonym for Koryo ceramics.
They
were produced in the first half of the 10th
century.
The
Koryo celadon is conspicuous as a graceful and noble craftwork for
its mysterious color and pattern and original shape in good harmony.
