Stunning Goryeo Celadon Melon Bottle at National Museum

The National Museum of Korea is showcasing a rare melon-shaped celadon bottle from the Goryeo Dynasty (12th century), a masterpiece of Korean ceramic art. The piece features the signature jade-green glaze and intricate inlay work that made Goryeo celadon world-famous during its golden age. Originally from King Injong's tomb, this National Treasure represents the peak of Korean pottery craftsmanship before quality declined due to Mongol invasions.
