Since the tenth century, Goryeo potters in Korea absorbed ceramic techniques from China and produced celadon vessels for the royal court. The monochrome jade color and the elegant shapes were similar to the aesthetic tastes of Chinese Song dynasty (960–1276) ceramics. Chinese envoy Xu Jin (1091–1153) praised the quality of Goryeo celadon and their resemblance to famous wares in China, evidence of the cultural exchanges between the two countries.
