Coming this week, 'REFIND: Korean Wares' will be live this Friday.

Korean pottery began with Neolithic earthenware around 5000 BC, first decorated with raised bands and later with comb-pattern designs. By 1000 BC, simpler undecorated pottery became common. Around the start of the Common Era, potter’s wheels and kiln-firing technology arrived from China, leading to the production of high-fired stoneware during the Three Kingdoms period (300–668 AD) and the emergence of green-glazed wares.

During the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392), Korea produced its first celadon and white porcelain. Inspired by Chinese ceramics, Goryeo celadon developed a distinctive blue-green glaze known as bisaek and an innovative inlay technique. Major production centers were Kangjin and Buan. By the 14th century, political instability shifted production toward more practical stoneware.

In the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), buncheong ware emerged, featuring bold white-slip decorations on stoneware. Unlike the refined Goryeo celadon, buncheong was expressive and robust, with some pieces becoming highly valued in Japan. Meanwhile, white porcelain became the dominant ceramic style, reflecting Confucian ideals of simplicity and purity. Blue-and-white porcelain appeared in the 15th century, followed by iron-brown and copper-red decorated wares. By the 18th century, ceramic production flourished, and in the 19th century, rising middle-class demand encouraged designs featuring auspicious symbols, folk motifs, and wishes for prosperity and longevity.

We have an extraordinary selection of Tatsuzō Shimaoka work available.

Tatsuzo Shimaoka lived and worked in Mashiko, Japan, a town well-known for its pottery traditions. He originally studied pottery at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and then apprenticed to Shoji Hamada before starting his own kiln and complex next door in 1953. he later received one of the highest craft honors of the second Living National Treasure of Mashiko, Japan. His signature technique ofjomon zogon (rope-impressed inlay) earned him the honor of Japanese Living National Treasure in 1996. Shimaoka also influenced many potters starting their careers including Ken Matsuzaki, the current president of the Mashiko Potters Association, thus continuing the tradition of potter and apprentice.
