What did Koreans use celadon for?
Koreans used celadon for spiritual purposes. Pieces of celadon pottery functioned as chy-tang, spirit vessels believed to invite positive spirits into a home. Korean artisans produced many impressive examples of celadon pottery during the Goryeo Dynasty, which lasted from 918 to 1392. Find a selection of celadon pottery on 1stDibs.
