Bold without being loud — a tiger stripe in glaze, a round cup that fits the palm exactly.
The tiger (호랑이) has occupied a unique place in Korean visual culture for centuries: feared, revered, and ultimately transformed into something almost playful in Korean folk painting (민화, Minhwa). The Hopi-mun (호피문, Tiger Stripe Pattern) on this cup draws from that same tradition — a bold decorative language that is entirely Korean in origin, bearing no relation to external aesthetics. Tovy fires this cup at high temperature, achieving a dense, durable ceramic with superior heat retention — the tiger stripe glaze flows and locks in the kiln, ensuring no two cups look identical. The result is a small round cup that carries visual weight without physical weight — strong in presence, light in hand. PEUM presents this as a statement piece of Korean folk-inspired ceramics for the contemporary table.
Pour a small measure of quality soju into this cup at a dinner party — the tiger stripe against clear spirit is an unexpected, entirely appropriate pairing. For espresso, macchiato, or a small pour of cold brew, the 7.3 cm diameter is calibrated for a focused, deliberate drink. Grouped with a small Korean teapot and companions on a ceramic tray, the tiger stripe pattern turns a simple tea setup into a considered arrangement.
For someone who finds beauty in boldness — and in the tradition behind it. A cup that carries centuries of Korean folk art in its glaze. Fired in South Korea by Tovy. The glaze pattern is unique on every piece.
