While aristocrats enjoyed the luminous green celadons produced by royal kilns, less elite Koreans continued to use unglazed stonewares. Unlike the unglazed vessels found in pre-Goryeo burials, which clearly belonged to centuries-old ritual traditions, Goryeo-period stonewares come in shapes more appropriate for everyday serving and food storage.
