Haeju (ceramic stlye) en

Refers to a ceramic style produced from the late 19th to first half of the 20th century in Haeju, Hwanghae-do (province). Now part of South Hwanghae (Hwanghaenam-do) in North Korea, Haeju served as the administrative center of Hwanghae-do during the Joseon Dynasty. The large white porcelain vessels called Haeju white porcelain or Haeju jars were often formed using methods similar to onggi production. They were decorated with various motifs, primarily in cobalt blue, but they also featured iron-painted designs. The motifs were mainly floral and fish designs, although birds, buildings, and other patterns also appeared. Some Haeju white porcelain produced in the modern period included additional green designs using chromium pigment. While generally called Haeju ware, similar white porcelain was also made in neighboring Bongsan-gun and Suan-gun counties, as well as parts of South Pyongan (Pyongannam-do).
