Hi again,
I have been looking at the lovely, fine-grained yet red-clay body of a slip-inlay decorated, celadon glazed bottle I have from Korea. Does anyone out there know whom I might contact to learn something about what the general chemical composition of such a high-fire clay body might be if made from ingredients found on the Korean peninsula?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello Dave: Hmmm. There is the Celadon Research Center in Gangjin, South
Korea. To say that they know what is going on with celadon is an
understatement. They are very helpful people, they have good bibimbop
also. This article might help. Compositional and Microstructural Study

There are many very scholarly works on their pottery. They take it much
more seriously than we do.
I have samples of Korean Feldspar and raw clay that I haven't had
analyzed yet from my spring trip to Korea. Part of my research grant was
to climb around the mountains there and survey the clay and rock
formations. A dirty job but someone has to do it.
