[KS] cultural object circulation in the late Choson Dynasty query

[Andre Schmid]

A few of us in Toronto were discussing the circulation of cultural  
objects in the late Choson dynasty when the following question arose:  
If you were a family of means in the 18th century, where might you use  
your money to purchase a celadon from the Koryo dynasty? Was this even  
possible? Our discussion of this topic was based on pure conjecture  
and not supported by any specific empirical or textual knowledge (easy  
to do!), so I thought I would post a query to see if anyone had any  
specific textual sources from this period that would shed light on our  
question.  Thanks in advance for your suggestions and ideas.
