Korean Buncheong Ceramic Round Plate, S
Meet the Korean Buncheong Ceramic Round Plate in Small, wheel-thrown and handcrafted by ceramicist Hunseong Jang based in Icheon, South Korea.
Elevated on a gently tapered foot, the form draws from traditional gobae (high-footed vessels), offering both presence and lightness. The softly flared surface is finished in a pale buncheong glaze, where subtle variations in tone, speckling, and firing marks reveal the quiet movement of earth and flame.
The restrained palette allows the form to speak—balanced, grounded, and quietly expressive. Whether used for plating or as a sculptural object, the piece carries a sense of stillness characteristic of buncheong ware.
Each piece is individually thrown and glazed by hand; natural variations in shape, color, and surface are to be expected and embraced.
Each plate is sold separately.
Dimensions: approx. Ø 4.5 x H 2.25"
Food-safe. Lead-free.

About Hunseong Jang: Hun Seong Jang is based in Icheon, South Korea where he owns his own ceramic studio. He studied Korean and Japanese ceramics for many years in search of Korean-ness. He specializes in making Korean buncheong ware.
About Buncheong ware: Buncheong ceramics emerged in Korea at the end of the 14th century from the tradition of inlaid celadon of the late Goryeo period (918–1392). In contrast to the refined elegance of Goryeo celadon, buncheong feels natural, unassuming and even rustic. However, in the 16th century, due to the Imjin war, Korean potters were taken to Japan, where they started to influence Japanese ceramics especially for use in Japanese tea ceremonies. In Japan, Buncheong came to be known as Kohiki.
