Buncheong ware is one of the Korean peninsula’s traditional ceramic forms. It is one of the two representative porcelains of the Joseon dynasty along with Joseon white porcelain. It was inspired by Chinese blue and white porcelain, but has its own unique style. It is characterized by using white mineral pigments containing oxidized iron or oxidized ferrous metals to directly paint designs on gray or ash gray clay body. The kilns weren’t controlled by authorities, so there was greater freedom in the selection of techniques and motifs, and the resulting wares show the optimism and simplicity of the Korean people. It’s worth mentioning that South Chungcheong Province selected Buncheong ware to give as gifts because its Gyeryongsan is a major source of Buncheong ware.
