[Rarebooks] fs: Three on Korean Ceramics

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

Gompertz, G. St. G.M.  KOREAN CELADON AND OTHER WARES OF THE KORYO 
PERIOD.  New York; Thomas Yoseloff: 1964.  The Koryu period was 918-1392, 
and roughly corresponds to the Chinese Sung and Yuan Dynasties.  Unlike 
Chinese celadons of the same period, Korean celadons were not exported, and 
remained something of a secret until the early years of the 20th 
century.  In fact, Korean pottery in general continues to be largely and 
undeservedly ignored, but that's another kettle of 
kim-chi.  Hardcover.  6.5"x10", 102 pages of text plus 4 color and 96 b/w 
plates; a little light wear.  [05382]  $60.00

Griffing, Robert P. THE ART OF THE KOREAN POTTER -SILLA, KORYO, YI. New 
York; Asia House Gallery:1968. A very informative and well illustrated 
catalog of an exhibition of the important periods of Korean ceramic 
art.  Hardcover. 8.5"x11", 131 pages, 15 text illustrations, 8 color and 
106 b/w illustrations, stained dj. [12454]  $75.00

Kim, Dr. Chewon & G. St. G.M. Gompertz (eds.). THE CERAMIC ART OF KOREA. 
London; Faber and Faber: 1961.

Palace and the National Museum, as well as several private collections.
