Punch'ong es Punch-ong en

Historical Korean stoneware style that emerged soon after the establishment of the Choson dynasty in 1392. Buncheong, also transliterated as Punch’ong, evolved from the celadon tradition it replaced, using the same raw materials and essentially the same decorative vocabulary while favoring a coarser, less processed technique and a relatively bold and dynamic style. Gray bodied ceramics are coated with a white slip, and covered in a green, semi-translucent glaze. Buncheong ware is noted for its innovative surface decoration, which includes inlaying, stamping, incising, and sgraffiti. It was replaced in popularity by white porcelain, disappearing by the end of the sixteenth century; but has enjoyed a revival in modern times. Refers to a ceramic style produced from the late Goryeo period (latter half of the 14th century) to the early Joseon period (first half of the 16th century). It represents a transitional style between the celadon of the late Goryeo Dynasty and white porcelain of the Joseon Dynasty. Also called "buncheong sagi” (buncheong ware), the term is an abbreviation of "bunjang hoecheong sagi," meaning “grayish-blue-bodied ware coated with white slip.” It was made by coating gray clay bodies with white slip before glazing and firing. The methods of surface decoration, including the application of slip varied widely, often featuring regional characteristics. As white porcelain production expanded in the area around Gwangju in Gyeonggi-do (province), buncheong sagi gradually declined.
