“A quiet harmony of lotus and crane—where serenity meets form.”
This exceptional celadon bowl, crafted by Master Artisan Kim Young-Soo of Icheon, South Korea, brings together sculptural elegance and symbolic depth in a grand and refined form. The interior is beautifully adorned with an inlaid lotus blossom—its petals radiating in crimson and celadon tones—encircling a golden centre like a meditative sun. Around it, white cranes glide gracefully across the glossy jade-green glaze, evoking peace and spiritual renewal.
In contrast, the exterior remains pristine and unadorned, allowing the soft crackle glaze of classic celadon to speak with quiet authority. This interplay between interior intricacy and exterior restraint lends the piece a contemporary balance that suits both modern and traditional interiors alike.
Measuring 28 cm in diameter and 10 cm in height, this large bowl is generous in scale and thoughtfully elevated on a tall foot, offering visual and physical stability. Whether used functionally for fruit or food presentation, or simply displayed as a centrepiece, it commands presence without excess.
The crane, a symbol of longevity and grace, and the lotus, representing purity and enlightenment, come together in this composition to reflect values long cherished in East Asian aesthetics. As light shifts across the bowl’s surface, so too does its mood—subtle yet expressive, much like a living painting.
A display stand is included for elegant presentation.
