Physical Description

Subject Matter
Goryeo earthenware is mostly the shape of pot, jar or bottle. The decoration and design are very simple or sometimes not exist. Goryeo earthenware is the vessel used by the general people not by high level people. So this kind of vessel is emphasized the practical use rather than decorative feature or artistic value.
