First sentence: The Koryö celadons and Chosön porcelains that have found their final abode in the Fitzwilliam Museum are unique products of Korea's traditional culture - unique because, in contrast to other works of art in Korea, they represent a ready symbiosis of upper-class taste and workmanship provided by artisans of lower social standing.
