The Ewha Womans University Museum obtained some tens of thousands of pieces of ceramics in the 1950s from a kiln site in Jeollabuk-do, Buan--a celadon kiln site of the Goryeo dynasty (918-1392) that rivals the kiln site at Jeollanam-do, Gangjin. For 20 years, since the early 1960s, the pieces were organized and categorized, and some of them were restored. The pieces were displayed, showing that the shape, design, crafting technique, and glaze were not inferior to those of the Gangjin celadon. Through this exhibit, a one-meter tall celadon Maebyeong, which had never been discovered before, various other large celadon peices, a large quantity of plates, which were used as tiles on building exteriors, and a variety of stools with openwork designs were displayed. The ceramics were categorized according to their material, shape, and decoration technique. Pieces with calligraphy engraved upon them were also displayed, thereby greatly contributing to research on the history of Goryeo ceramics.
