Kapanlagi.com - Did you know that Korea is a country that has the highest quality ceramics from the 10th century?

The green ceramics were first made by China. However, China also greatly desired these Goryeo green ceramics. In his book, a writer from the Song Dynasty, Taiping Laoren, Xiuzhongjin, listed Goryeo ceramics as the most desired item in China.

1. China Amazed by Goryeo Ceramics

An envoy from the Song Emperor wrote in GaoliTujing (Illustrated Travelogue of Goryeo) that Goryeo ceramics are as delicate as those owned by China. The famous poet from the Song Dynasty, Su Shi, included two Goryeo artifacts in the top 10 items in the world, including a Goryeo scarf and bell.

China is the main exporter of very beautiful ceramics. What makes the Chinese people amazed by Goryeo ceramics?

2. High-level Artwork of Goryeo

Advanced technology is required to create ceramics. China and Goryeo were the only countries with the technology to make ceramics. The people of Goryeo learned ceramic-making techniques from China and started producing ceramics in the 10th century. By the 12th century, Goryeo was producing ceramics of higher quality than Chinese ceramics.

Goryeo (918-1392) developed a unique technique called the Sanggam Method. This method involves sketching patterns and adding color to the clay. These ceramics have a unique jade green color that is unmatched. The most famous Goryeo ceramic is the Prunus Vase, which is designated as National Treasure No. 68 in Korea. The refinement of these artworks demonstrates the level of Goryeo's artistry.
