This Korean Celadon Bottle Set features two traditional forms: the Maebyeong, with its dignified curves and narrow neck, perfect for showcasing a single plum branch; and the Jubyeong, round and graceful, originally crafted to store and serve drinks.
Adorned with the auspicious Unhak (crane and cloud) pattern, the design is brought to life through Korea’s signature sanggam inlay technique. Each crane is carved into the clay body and filled carefully with white or black slip—requiring just the right depth, pressure, and rhythm from the artist’s hand. The swirling clouds are incised with precision, creating a sense of lightness and movement that balances the soaring cranes.
This motif has long symbolized longevity, success, and peace. Together, the two vases not only represent Korea’s rich celadon heritage but also the dreams and blessings embedded in their forms.
Imagine placing this set on your entryway console or bookshelf. When guests arrive, they’re drawn in by its serene color and elegant motifs. The pieces spark conversation, admiration—and maybe even a wish for a little more calm in daily life.
As with all handmade items, slight variations in color and shape may occur, making each piece truly unique.
