“Where elegance unfolds in quiet ritual.”
This exquisite celadon tea set invites a tranquil pause—each piece handcrafted with devotion by Master Artisan Kwon Oh-Hak, whose mastery of traditional inlay techniques breathes life into the most subtle forms.
At the centre is the tulip-shaped tea cup, its silhouette gently unfurling like a spring bloom. Each panel of the cup is delicately adorned with inlaid motifs of cranes and clouds, rendered in the refined sanggam technique. These symbols, long associated with harmony, longevity, and serenity, dance softly beneath the luminous glaze, revealing new depths as the light shifts.
The matching lid, shaped to echo the blossom’s curve, offers more than visual harmony—it becomes a resting place for a tea bag, a piece of fruit, or a quiet moment of reflection. Paired with the scalloped saucer, the ensemble forms a complete, tactile gesture of quiet grace.
Now complemented by two refined additions, the set gains a new sense of completeness. A footed dessert plate, shaped like a blossom in full bloom, lends a place for seasonal confections—sweet rice cakes, fruit slices, or delicacies meant to be savoured slowly. Its elevation offers visual lightness, turning an everyday table into a stage for ceremony.
The small utensil rest, shaped in the likeness of a traditional roof tile, provides a thoughtful touch—inviting a fork, spoon or chopstick to pause between moments of enjoyment. Together, all elements create a unified language of form, surface, and intention.
Each piece is fully adorned with sanggam inlay—the cranes and clouds repeated with reverence and consistency, transforming a tea set into a poetic meditation. Whether used in ritual or quietly admired, the ensemble offers a moment of stillness in the rhythm of the day.
Due to the handmade nature of this set, no two pieces are entirely alike. Slight variations in shape, tone, and motif are not imperfections but signatures of the human hand—each one a testament to time, skill, and care.
A gathering of grace, for those who find beauty in the quietest gestures.
