This refined celadon bottle set pairs two iconic Korean vessel forms—Maebyeong and Jubyeong—each representing a perfect blend of function, form, and symbolism. The body of each piece is adorned with elegant cranes in mid-flight, inlaid using the traditional sanggam (inlay) technique. Surrounding them, clouds carved in relief (eumgak) create a soft, layered texture, adding both visual depth and symbolic harmony.
The Maebyeong, with its wide shoulders and slender neck, is perfect for holding seasonal branches or single blossoms—especially plum flowers, which symbolize strength and renewal. The Jubyeong, more rounded and weighty, historically served as a vessel for drinks, adding understated elegance to daily rituals.
Imagine placing this set on a sunlit table or sideboard—one holding a branch of blooming cherry or plum, the other resting gracefully nearby. The cranes seem to glide across the glaze, while the carved clouds add gentle motion to the stillness. In a quiet afternoon, you might pour tea from the Jubyeong while admiring the balance of both forms, turning an ordinary moment into something tender and timeless.
These vases are more than ornaments—they are companions for reflection and beauty, grounded in centuries of Korean ceramic artistry. A thoughtful gift for loved ones or a meaningful centerpiece in your own space.
As each piece is handmade, slight variations in color and shape are natural, making every set one of a kind.
