Created by Kwon Oh-Hak, a celebrated artisan of Icheon, the vase blends lyrical form with refined inlay technique (sanggam), creating a piece that transcends function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom its arched back to the gentle rise of its shoulder, the vase echoes the curves of the gayageum’s soundboard. Each line, each edge, is deliberate—mirroring not only the instrument’s structure but its poise and stillness. The surface is adorned with blooming peonies, rendered in the sanggam inlay technique using white slip. The blossoms—long associated with honour, wealth, and feminine grace—float like whispered music across the celadon green glaze, which shifts tone subtly depending on the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough it holds no strings, the vase resonates in another register: it speaks to harmony between sound and silence, craftsmanship and symbolism, tradition and reinterpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 30 cm in length, it is ideally sized to harmonise with fresh or dried flowers of various heights, whether resting horizontally on its matching celadon stand or hung vertically via the rear wall hole discreetly added by the artisan. This practical touch, along with the separately crafted celadon stand, reflects both the artist’s precision and sensitivity to modern use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn object to admire, but also to feel—\u003cbr\u003eAs you cradle the vase or trace the gentle floral motifs, the slightly raised inlay offers a quiet tactile pleasure. It is a piece that invites not only the gaze, but also the hand—perfect for those who appreciate beauty that lives in both sight and touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether placed on a low console, sideboard, or gallery shelf, this vase commands attention through its unexpected form and symbolic elegance. It makes a thoughtful gift for those with a deep appreciation for Korean tradition or design lovers seeking an objet d’art with soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth- 10.5cm (4.13 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth- 4cm (1.57 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight- 30.5cm (12.00 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\u003ca title=\"Pottery Master Kim Yong Seop Collection\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/collections\/kim-yong-seop\"\u003eKim Yong Seop Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Master Artisan Collection\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/collections\/master-artisan\"\u003eMaster Artisan Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Celadons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51092252721383,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/0100\/1191\/files\/5E799FA9-85CF-4BCE-B69C-B751DA7584E6.jpg?v=1750965939","url":"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/products\/celadon-vase-gayageum-shape-with-inlaid-peony-by-mater-artisan","provider":"ArtinKo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
