...part of what makes Korean ceramics of this period so successful is the technical proficiency that only Korean and Chinese ceramics of the period were able to achieve. The wares of the Three Kingdoms Period are generally made of grey stoneware, a high-fired ceramic ware impervious to liquid. The Henderson Collection has many fine examples of these early wares, particularly ceremonial stands and food containers known for their large scale and cut-out bases. These dramatic pieces of near technical perfection should not be missed. The other wares of the Three Kingdoms Period show the influences of different media...
...stoneware used in Korea. Decorative techniques such as carving, incising and molding were employed in these Koryo ceramics as well. Later in the Koryo celadon tradition, in a complete departure from Chinese ceramics, Korean potters so mastered the celadon technique that they incorporated inlaid black and white slip--or liquid clay--designs into the grey stoneware bodies for added decoration. The inlaid celadon wares of the Koryo Dynasty in the Henderson Collection are breathtaking examples of a uniquely Korean...
Since the law went into effect, however, researchers have developed exquisitely sensitive techniques for sniffing out compounds. Today these tests can detect one part per quintillion -- roughly the same as a tablespoon of liquid in all the Great Lakes combined. At that level of analysis, laboratory studies would probably reveal that virtually all food contains dioxin, for example, because small amounts of the toxic substance are released by volcanoes and picked up through the soil. Yet there is no flexibility in the Delaney Clause to compensate for such a phenomenal increase in scientific capability...
