CeladonCeladon began in Korea 7,000-8,000 years
ago. They started to make Celadon and eventually some White Porcelain. In the 12th century, pure Celadon became the most sophisticated Koryo Celadon. It was mainly used in Buddhist temples. The Celadon became a mystic blue and a gray-green color, also called as “Kingfisher” green. Koryo Celadon is acclaimed the best and finest type of pottery for it’s clear, yet high spirited bluish- green color.
