Korean Buncheong Moon Jar

Meet the Korean Buncheong Moon jar, wheel-thrown by ceramist Seungki Min in Icheon, South Korea.

This glazed moon jar is a statement piece, brushed with white clay, which is one of the characteristic decorative feature of Buncheong ware called "귀얄기법" ("guiyal" technique).

Seungki Min's ceramics sit at an interesting intersection: they honor historical Korean clay traditions, yet don't replicate them slavishly. By experimenting with colored slip, layered glazes and minimal form, Min pushes the material language of Buncheong and Celadon into new territory. His pieces speak to both past and present –humble, meditative, and thoughtfully expressive.
