Entirely handcrafted in Icheon by Master Ceramicist Kwon Oh-Hak, it transforms a musical instrument into an object of quiet contemplation, where sound gives way to the visual harmony of glaze, form, and motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is shaped from Goryeo-style celadon clay, coated in a luminous jade-green glaze with the gentle crackle pattern treasured in classical Korean ceramics. Adorning its surface is the maehwa (plum blossom) motif — a symbol of resilience, purity, and the promise of renewal — executed with the sanggam inlay technique. Each blossom and branch flows naturally across the soundboard, as if traced by a spring breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery defining element of a true gayageum is faithfully echoed in ceramic: the three resonating chambers at the base, the finely carved anjok (bridge pegs shaped like goose feet), the taut, twisted strings, and the ornamental butterfly tassels that fall softly to the side. The reddish-brown rim and hand-brushed details lend warmth and contrast to the cool celadon green, while the soft curvature of the blossoms reveals the artisan’s mastery over glaze, slip, and fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough not intended for performance, this celadon gayageum commands attention as a centrepiece. Whether resting upon a cabinet of fine wood or set in a sunlit alcove, it radiates a quiet elegance — a noble stillness that enriches any refined space. It is a sculpture that holds the memory of music, inviting both the eye and the imagination to linger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all handmade works, slight variations in glaze tone, inlay detail, or surface texture are to be expected and celebrated. Each piece carries the breath of the kiln and the touch of the maker’s hands, making it truly one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth- 8cm (3.15 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth- 4cm (1.57 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight- 30cm (11.81 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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/collections\/master-artisan\" title=\"Master Artisan’s Collection\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaster Artisan’s Collection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Celadons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51250944737511,"sku":null,"price":901.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/0100\/1191\/files\/F9676F86-1A4E-4B0C-8168-3B6A01CBFE38.jpg?v=1754795790","url":"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/ja\/products\/celadon-sanjo-gayageum-inlaid-plum-blossom-by-master-artisan","provider":"ArtinKo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
