Korean Antiques

Korean Antiques are today’s one of the most desired collections. Ceramics are one of the oldest objects discovered in Korea, with “comb-pattern” pottery dating back to 7000 B.C. Comma-shaped nephrite beads named kogok were also introduced during Korea's Bronze Age. Murals were used to decorate the interiors of tombs during the three kingdoms period. Similarly, some of the earliest Korean paintings also date from that period. Those paintings represented life at that period, as well as portraits of tomb inhabitants. Korean stoneware was also developed during the Three Kingdoms period, indicating that ceramics technology had advanced to the point that high-fire kilns were possible. The antique Korean furniture like chests, Korean cabinets etc and sculptures were also crafted in abundance including sculptures of the Buddha and enlightened bodhisattvas. Ceramics became more popular during the Koryo dynasty when the iconic celadon glazes were originated and refined. Korean celadon-glazed ceramics were highly sought after also in China by the 12th century. Colors of the glaze varied from copper red to cobalt blue, but Korean potters resisted the Chinese's garish overglazing methods, whether for religious purposes or plain economic reasons.
