March 17, 2016 - Presented by Robert D. Mowry, this illustrated slide lecture will survey the history of Korean ceramics from the early historic period through the nineteenth century. It will focus on the robust stonewares of the Three Kingdoms (57 BC-AD 668) and Unified Silla (668-935) periods, the classical celadons of the Koryŏ (Goryeo) dynasty (918-1392), and the delicate porcelains and rustic punch’ŏng (buncheong) wares of the Chosŏn (Joseon) dynasty (1392-1910). The lecture will emphasize characteristics and innovations that are uniquely Korean (such as the invention of the inlay technique of ceramic decoration), but it will also explore relationships between Korean ceramics and Chinese ceramics, just as it will touch on relationships between Korean ceramics and works of art in other media-from gold, silver, and bronze to lacquer and painting. The lecture will also seek to place the ceramics within the larger context of Korean society and culture.
