Korean Celadon Bowl with Inlaid Fish, Bird, Flower and Plant Design

In this month's presentation, we will be looking at a Korean celadon ceramic bowl from the 13th century. Celadon, or greenware as it's called in Korea, was introduced to ancient Korea during the Goryeo Dynasty, 918-1392. With the pale green luster reminiscent of jade and the super smooth glaze, Goryeo ceramics remain some of the finest and most prized collectors’ items in the world of ceramics.
