Gallery Text Koryŏ Celadon Celadon is a term that originated in Europe; in Korea, it is called ch’ŏngja, or “green ware.” Produced primarily for the royal court and elite class, Koryŏ celadon was prized in China, where celadon was first manufactured, and coveted and collected in Japan. Inlaid celadon was a major Korean innovation: the design was carved into the surface and filled with slip, creating white and/or black patterns under the green glaze. An elegant and subtle color palette and decoration characterize the best of Koryŏ celadon.
