The journey to the color white in Joseon ceramics comprised numerous footprints. White is not a single color, but an endless array of both warm and cool hues tinged with tones of blue and yellow, all of which were carefully crafted and fired by the hands of Joseon artisans. With each new step, unexpected delights were discovered, as fish, flowers, pine trees, and plum blossoms flourished across the surfaces of Joseon ceramics. Just as a sunbeam passing through a prism scatters into a rainbow, all colors are born from one light. While none of the countless shades of white brought to life by these master artisans are identical, all are expressions of the unique white color of Joseon.
