Celadon Pottery

Looking at this piece, I see many similarities between this one and the one displayed in class. First of all, celadon glaze was used on both pieces, and if you look really closely, they both have swans on the surface. I believe that the piece in class and the one in this picture here came from Korea and was made during the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392). Although the making of celadon pottery began in China, Korean potters soon began to create their own style of celadon pottery. If there's anything I really love about this piece here, it's the celadon glaze. This glaze is so unique in its color, the aqua-green color that adds such a grace to the vase. The fact it is almost to achieve this type of color anywhere else besides Korea, Japan, and China also adds to the uniqueness of celadon pottery.
