Jang-i Najeonchilgi Mother-of-Pearl Tumbler - Bamboo/대나무 (450ml)
Immerse yourself in the iridescent elegance of Korea’s heritage with the Jang-i Mother-of-Pearl Tumbler. This exquisite piece harmonises the ancient art of Najeonchilgi (traditional mother-of-pearl lacquerware) with modern functionality.
This specific design features the Bamboo, a profound symbol in Korean culture. The bamboo’s straight stem represents integrity, while its distinct knots symbolise wisdom and distinctiveness. Historically, the hollow interior of the bamboo has been compared to the humility and open-mindedness of a Seonbi (a virtuous scholar).
Handcrafted by master artisans, this tumbler uses natural mother-of-pearl sourced from the deep sea, meticulously inlaid to catch the light with a brilliant, shifting spectrum. The surface is finished with Ottchil, a natural lacquer harvested from the lacquer tree. Known for its antibacterial properties and durability, Ottchil has been preserved in Korean crafts for centuries.
Beyond its beauty, this tumbler is designed for daily luxury. The interior is crafted from high-grade SUS 304 Stainless Steel, ensuring excellent heat and cold retention via a double-wall vacuum structure. Whether for a calming tea or a cool refreshment, this vessel brings a touch of the scholar’s grace to your everyday routine.
