Korean Buncheong Ceramic Soban (소반)/Low Table
Meet the Korean Buncheong Ceramic Soban (소반)/Low Table, hand-built by ceramicist Hunseong Jang based in Icheon, South Korea.
Inspired by the traditional Korean soban, this handcrafted ceramic stand reinterprets a timeless form through clay. Texturized using soft, warm white slip, it features subtle variations and gentle traces of the making process with each piece carrying a quiet, understated character.
It adds height and presence while remaining minimal in form. Beautiful on its own or layered into a thoughtful tabletop arrangement or on the floor, the ceramic soban brings a sense of calm and balance to everyday rituals.
Due to its handmade nature, slight variations in form, glaze, and surface are to be expected and celebrated as part of its uniqueness.

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.
