Celadon is defined by the green color and crackled glaze. Korean Celadon is an art form that is 1500 years old. Celadon was the porce-lain of choice by the Koryo Dynasty which reigned until 1396 A.D. Today the art of making Celadon exists as a cottage industry and is concentrated in two villages in central South Korea. The various forms and designs of the Celadon pieces shown are very traditional. Similar antique pieces can be seen in the Seoul National Museum. There are several techniques that create the traditional designs.

Black/White Inlaid Celadon
The chrysanthemum design on these vases is made by adding the design as another layer of clay on top of the formed greenware vase. The vase is then glazed and fired.

Bamboo Celadon
The bamboo design is created by incising the vase. The vase is then glazed and fired.

Crane Celadon
In order to create the crane, the artist carves the crane shape out of the formed greenware vase. A different clay is then applied to fill in the crane form and the vase is then glazed and fired.

Lattice Celadon
The various lattice design vases are all double walled. After the vase has dried to a very leathery stage the artist hand carves the outer wall at the vase to create the beautiful lattice look. The vase is then glazed and fired.
