Among all of Korea's traditional art forms, the celadons of the Koryo period remain the most internationally known. From prehistoric times through the thirteenth century, these works provide an "unwritten history" of food culture, the customs and the belief system of early Korean civilization. Reaching heights of perfection in the mid-twelfth century unparalleled before or since, Korea's celadons and the Koryo culture that produced them subsequently witnessed a marked decline. Fortunately, the best surviving examples are illustrated here. The authors provide scholarly overview and amply describe these treasures in this beautiful volume.
