Created using the rare double-wall openwork technique (이중투각), the form is built in two stages: an inner vessel provides structural support, while an outer wall is added and carefully carved into a lattice of interlocking diamonds and circles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe process demands extraordinary attention. Because the outer wall loses integrity once pierced, it requires extended drying time and refined handling at each stage to avoid collapse or cracking during firing. The result is a sculptural skin of light and shadow, where air flows through geometry, and craftsmanship becomes a quiet discipline.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe work is by Park Hee-Seo, a ceramicist whose understanding of the clay’s drying rhythm and thermal behaviour is evident in every choice. His experience allows structural fragility to become visual strength.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNear the rim, two cranes—symbols of longevity and quiet grace—are gently inlaid using the sanggam method, a signature of classical Goryeo celadon. Their presence offers a moment of stillness above the dynamic interplay of forms below.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough the body is open, the presence is grounded. It is a vessel of breath and shadow, of stillness between layers. Whether placed under light or left to stand quietly, it draws the gaze—and keeps it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece is best appreciated not only as a flower vase, but as a contemplative object—one that invites pause, presence, and a reverence for process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDiameter- 14cm (5.51 inch)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight- 11.5cm (4.53 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Links\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/blogs\/korean-culture\/about-celadon\" title=\"About Celadon\"\u003eAbout Celadon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Celadons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42681564299495,"sku":"","price":107.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/0100\/1191\/products\/il_fullxfull.3318965498_av1n.jpg?v=1646881741","url":"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/en-gb\/products\/celadon-double-walled-openwork-jar-inlaid-crane-motif","provider":"ArtinKo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
