Koryo Ceramics

Koryo ceramics began to be produced in the 10th century and attained the highest stage of their development in the period of the 11th-12th century. They were glazed in blue, black, white or red colours.

The jaded green celadon was the most beautiful and renowned; it was the symbol of Koryo ceramics. Koryo ceramics have been widely known as the finest of their kinds in the world.
