Silla Smile Sauce Bowl Set
신라의 미소를 담은 소스볼 세트
Bring a piece of Korea’s ancient charm to your modern table with this 3-piece ceramic sauce bowl set, inspired by the gentle smile of the Silla Dynasty.
A winner of the 2024 MU:DS Design Competition, this set was created in collaboration with the National Gyeongju Museum. The design draws from the Face Tile Roof-End (Treasure No. 2010)—a historic artifact known for its serene, warm smile that embodies the spirit of the Silla people.
Each bowl is uniquely glazed and features an impressed pattern representing the face tile. As you fill it with soy sauce, pickles, or side dishes, the smiling face subtly emerges—blending cultural storytelling with everyday use.
Thoughtfully packaged and accompanied by historical context, this set makes a meaningful gift for lovers of design, heritage, and slow living.
