Discover the unique beauty and functionality of our Korean Traditional Handmade Celadon Covered Box with Mixed Clay Design (청자 연리문 향합). Historically used for storing a lady’s makeup powder or incense, this exquisite covered box now serves as a versatile container for keeping small valuable items.
Crafted from three colors of mixed clays, each box showcases the artist’s high level of skill and precision. The process demands exact timing; if the clays are mixed too much, the distinct colors won’t separate clearly, resulting in a unique pattern every time. Due to the high failure rate, each box is truly one-of-a-kind.
The mixed clay design, known as 연리문 (yeon ri moon), originates from the Goryeo dynasty era of celadon craftsmanship. Despite its exquisite beauty, this technique did not become mainstream due to its complexity, with inlaid celadon dominating the period.
Perfect as a thoughtful gift or for those who appreciate unique, handmade items, this celadon covered box is a beautiful addition to any collection. Celebrate Korean artistry with this extraordinary piece, blending tradition with contemporary functionality. Add a touch of elegance and cultural significance to your home with this remarkable celadon box.
