About This Book
This book discusses pottery, which has been a part of the daily life of
Koreans throughout the ages. The history of Korean pottery began with
people making earthenware vessels to store food. This was followed by
the development of stoneware, pottery fired at high temperatures to
become as hard as metal, and then the creation of high quality stoneware
covered in glaze. Indeed, pottery has been at the core of the history of
Korean ceramics and survives today in onggi jars, which are for everyday
use. Through changes in periods and kingdoms, Koreans have treasured
pottery vessels as important items in daily life. This book shows the
natural and easy beauty of pottery vessels and the honesty of Korean
handicrafts. Rha Sun-hwa, the author of this book, majored in Korean Art
History at Ewha Womans University and is a chief curator at Ewha Womans
University Museum.
