Experience the exquisite harmony of two Korean master crafts in one piece.
The Seoljungmae 설중매 (Plum Blossom in Snow) Cup Set represents a profound collaboration between the structural elegance of Yugi (Korean bronzeware) and the timeless durability of Ottchil (natural lacquer).
This collection is a designated K-Ribbon Selection, a mark of excellence awarded to cultural products that embody the premium value of Korea.
The base of the cup is crafted by the Anseong Machum Yugi Workshop (National Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 77) ensuring the highest quality of traditional bronzeware.
Upon this noble canvas, Ottmidam applies its artistry. The surface undergoes a rigorous process of sanding, lacquering, and drying repeated 6 to 8 times to create a flawless foundation.
Finally, the motif of Plum Blossom in Snow is hand-painted using colored lacquer. The plum blossom blooming amidst the snow is a poetic symbol of resilience, conveying a message of hope and the strength to endure winter's cold to eventually flower.
These cups offer a modern interpretation of tradition, bringing the antibiotic properties of Yugi and the preservative qualities of Ottchil to your daily tea or spirits ritual.
