Cheong-a Leaf Plate – 16cm

The form lifts slightly at the edges, holds a low curve through the centre — the shape of a single leaf at rest after a long fall.

Cast in the dual tradition of celadon (청자) and Buncheong (분청) pottery, this leaf-shaped plate brings together two of Korea's most enduring ceramic vocabularies into a single, compact piece. Iron-rich clay, white slip, and high-fire glaze give it a soft celadon tone underscored by natural speckles — a surface that speaks from centuries of Korean craft, not borrowed from any other aesthetic.

Set beside a main bowl for banchan and the leaf shape makes a small serve of kimchi or pickled radish feel ceremonial rather than incidental. Place a few slices of fruit or a small sweet on the plate as a dessert course in a deliberate, minimalist table setting. On a dresser or bedside table, it works equally well as a jewellery tray or a rest for a teaspoon — the form belongs in any quiet corner of a considered home.

For everyday use that earns a second glance. A modest piece with deep roots. Handcrafted in South Korea. Each leaf plate is finished individually — celadon tone and natural speckle vary between pieces.
