Abstract

There were active cultural exchanges between Joseon and China in the reign of Yeongjo and Jeongjo during the eighteenth century, as the relationship between the two countries became established. Especially, the School of Northern Learning, which not only acknowledged the Qing Dynasty but also intended to learn from its cultural and economic development to improve Joseon society, affected the porcelains circulated in Joseon. One of the most important achievements in pottery during the Qing Dynasty was falangcai porcelain, which was invented and produced under the direction of the Qing court. These falangcai porcelains were first introduced to Joseon during the eighteenth century, and this is verified by the examples that have been excavated or transmitted in Korea. This article analyzes the historical context in which a certain number of falangcai porcelains were imported to and consumed in Joseon, especially the circumstances of the eighteenth-century, under which falangcai porcelains just began to be introduced to Joseon. It is recorded that Emperor Qianlong (1723-1795) bestowed “Yangci falang ( 洋磁琺瑯)” on the royal court of Joseon three times during the eighteenth century.
