Korean Hoeryeong Glaze Wall-Mounted Ceramic Piece

Meet the Korean Hoeryeong Glaze Wall-Mounted Ceramic Piece by ceramist Hun Seong Jang based in Icheon, Korea. 

Each piece may be purchased individually or as part of a set.

This wall-mounted ceramic piece was created using traditional Hoeryeong-yu glaze, a historic Korean glaze known for its deep iron-rich tones, smoky surfaces, and naturally flowing textures created during high-temperature firing. Originally associated with northern Korean ceramics, Hoeryeong glaze is valued for its organic depth and subtle variations that emerge unpredictably through the firing process. 

Layers of deep midnight-toned glaze are contrasted by soft white flows that resemble drifting ash, creating a rich sense of movement and atmosphere. Iron-rich tones and mineral-like textures come together in a composition reminiscent of abstract painting. The natural movement of the glaze and subtle variations produced during firing give the work an organic presence and a quiet, contemplative mood.

“2025” is engraved on the upper portion of each piece as a mark of remembrance and memory.

The back is finished with a soft velvety backing and fitted with a metal hanger for easy wall installation.

Dimensions: W 5.5" x  L 4.5" x D .5"

Handcrafted in Korea.
