During the early Joseon period, both buncheong ware decorated with white slip and white porcelain were produced. White porcelain vessels began to be decorated with designs in cobalt-blue pigment. Painted by master artists from the Royal Bureau of Painting, the motifs on blue-and-white porcelain conveyed the dignity and values of the royal court. Some buncheong ware featured designs painted with black-iron pigment or incised patterns on a white clay background. Various regions produced their own versions of buncheong ware, evoking a sense of freedom and vitality. Two centuries after the founding of Joseon, various types of white ceramics had become fully integrated into the everyday lives of the Joseon people.
