Abstract

Porcelain was made on the Korean Peninsula during the Neolithic period, about 10,000 years ago. Ceramic wares were produced according to the aesthetic sense of each region. In addition, they sometimes symbolize the status and authority of the owner, and their shapes and decorations have been modified to suit different religious ceremonies. Porcelain is an important artifact that represents the history and culture of Korea. Although Korean porcelain is not as diverse as Chinese porcelain, it developed greatly during the Koryeo Dynasties (918 AD -1392 AD) and Joseon (1392 AD -1910 AD) and its characteristics became clear according to each era and category of use and sometimes depending on the region, and its shapes and decorations express the historical and ideological background of the era. But it also went through different waves of ups and downs according to the social ideology of the time. However, if we look at these different types of ceramics in any era, we find that they have a common denominator that they are colored and do not contain decorations or complex shapes. Although there are changes in the type and variety of ceramics such as celadon, bunchong, and white porcelain. The best examples were produced during the mid-to-late eleventh century during the Koryeo period (918 CE-1392 CE) and continued its development during the Joseon Dynasty (1392 CE-1910 CE).
