An illustrated history of Korean ceramics from ancient origins to today.
 
This book is a captivating, richly illustrated history of fired clay in Korea, spanning ancient times to the present day.

"Portal is one of my history heroes. This is an enchanting study, as beautiful as the objects it describes."

"Telling the fascinating story of a major but somewhat overlooked East Asian ceramic tradition – Korean ceramics – this book draws upon extensive and up-to-date research materials, and the deep knowledge of its authors, to consider ceramic developments over a comprehensive time frame, from the Neolithic period to the present day. Importantly, and for the first time, the history presented here dedicates a full chapter to the Modern and Contemporary periods, and includes North Korea. Within a chronological framework, a wide range of ceramics are considered from multiple perspectives, including production and design, form and function, archaeology, consumption and distribution, illustrated with multiple color images. While written accessibly, the book synthesizes a vast amount of information, presenting a contextualized, authentic and inclusive history that makes an important contribution to our understanding of Korean ceramics and world ceramic traditions."

"The first comprehensive book in English on the history of Korean ceramics in over fifty years, Precious beyond Measure incorporates Korean archaeology and scholarship to present an all-round view – a must-read for students and collectors."

"This is the book on Korean ceramics we have been waiting for. It is engaging and it is magisterial. And I love it."
