Suyu-dong Buncheong Ware Kiln Site

The Suyu-dong Buncheong Ware Kiln Site is a kiln that operated in the Bukhansan Mountain area from the end of Goryeo to the early Joseon period, and an academic excavation in 2011 confirmed its importance. It reveals the full picture of the kilns around Bukhansan Mountain that supplied Hanyang, present-day Seoul, in the early Joseon period, and it clarifies, in terms of ceramic history, the process by which pottery production shifted from inlaid celadon to buncheong ware, a stoneware decorated with white slip. In terms of economic history, it provides a clue for tracing the supply and demand system for ceramics in the Seoul region before the establishment of official (gwan-yo) kilns in the Joseon period, making it an important site that should be designated as heritage and systematically preserved and managed.
