Celadon Vase Set: Intricate Openwork with White Inlay and Peony Motif

This refined celadon set presents a breathtaking union of two classic Korean vase forms—Maebyeong and Jubyeong—reimagined through the delicate openwork technique and white inlay (baeksangam). Carved meticulously through layers of clay and slip, each peony blossom reveals light and shadow in an interplay that elevates the traditional beauty of celadon into something truly sculptural.

The Maebyeong, recognized by its full shoulders and narrow mouth, is perfect for showcasing elegant branches or seasonal flowers such as plum blossoms, symbols of endurance and new beginnings. The Jubyeong, known for its gentle curves and more tapered neck, historically functioned as a bottle for refined liquids like traditional wine or tea.

Each petal and leaf has been carefully pierced by hand, a process that weakens the clay and heightens the risk of failure during firing—making every successful piece a quiet triumph of craftsmanship. The soft celadon glaze flows into the crevices and outlines, while the subtle white inlay offers gentle contrast, bringing life to the floral motifs. Touches of red pigment in select peony buds add further depth and charm.

Imagine this pair displayed side by side in a softly lit corner. As sunlight filters through their carved forms, the peonies cast intricate shadows on the surrounding walls or table. A single branch placed in the Maebyeong, or the gentle silhouette of the Jubyeong on its own, can instantly transform a space into a moment of quiet beauty and tradition.

Whether gifted for a milestone celebration or treasured in your own home, this bottle set offers not only timeless form but also the story of Korean craftsmanship and soulful elegance.

Due to the handmade nature of this piece, slight variations in color and shape are to be expected and treasured.
