Korean Guiyal Buncheong Ceramic Moon Pasta Bowl
Meet the Korean Guiyal Buncheong Ceramic Pasta Bowl, handcrafted by ceramist Seungki Min in Icheon, South Korea. Glazed and brushed with white clay, the bowl features the characteristic buncheong decorative technique known as guiyal (귀얄기법). Compared to the moon plates, the pasta bowls curve further inward, making them especially suited for serving pasta and sauced dishes.
Icheon ceramics have a history spanning at least a thousand years, evolving from supplying the Joseon Dynasty's royal palaces to forming a "ceramic village" that has naturally drawn potters from all over the country.
Due to the handmade nature, each piece will differ slightly in terms of the shape, texture, color and glazing effect.
Dimensions: 9.5 x H 2"
Handcrafted in Korea.
About Seungki Min: Seungki Min is a contemporary Korean ceramic artist known for his refined wheel-thrown pottery that draws deeply from Korea’s celebrated ceramic traditions, especially Buncheong and moon jar forms while also adapting them for a modern audience.
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.
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 unassuming, natural 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.
