By the 9th century, Korea became the second country in the world to produce celadon and white porcelain after China. Icheon has been at the centre of Korean ceramics for more than 1000 years, its masters supplying ceramics to the royal family for over five hundred years during the Joseon kingdom. Designated UNESCO Creative City, Icheon is today home to more than 400 workshops and 40 traditional kilns, where recognised 'master hands' dedicate their lives to protecting Korea's ceramics culture alongside emerging artisans who give the tradition a modern touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Normal tm5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tm9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Maker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tm9\"\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tm7\"\u003eKim Eun-ho created Ceramic Mong to offer Korean tableware that combines traditional Korean simplicity and techniques with modern forms.
