History Of Use

This type of a small celadon dish (jeopsi; 접시; 楪匙) with a slightly curved rim and a shallowly carved inner bottom was produced from the twelfth century until the mid-thirteenth century in many Goryeo kilns. All types of pottery produced during the Goryeo dynasty (고려; 高麗; 918–1392) are referred to as Goryeo dojagi (Goryeo ware; 고려도자기; 高麗陶磁器). Celadon wares (green-grey glazed ceramics), known as Goryeo cheongja (고려청자; 高麗青磁), were the main type of ceramic produced during this period in Korea. Celadon originated in China, and Goryeo potters learned the techniques from the traditions of the Song dynasty (960–1279). The Buan (부안군) and Gangjin (강진군) regions in Jeolla Province (전라도) became the major production centres by the mid twentieth century, and Gangjin remains the production centre of the revival of Goryeo cheongja and modern celadon.
