About this artwork
While this cup was donated as a rare white celadon example excavated from a Goryeo period tomb, it turns out to be an imported Song period Chinese example. This suggests that many Korean elites during the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) enjoyed various imported luxury from China known for its advanced ceramic production.
