White Porcelain Soju Cup & Sauce Bowl Set (백자 술잔&소스볼 세트)

[Production Notice] Due to the artisanal nature of this product, a production lead time of approximately 1–2 weeks is required if the current stock is depleted.

This exquisite White Porcelain Soju Cup & Sauce Bowl Set (백자 술잔&소스볼 세트) by artist Kim Eun-ho is a celebration of the enduring and minimalist aesthetic of Joseon Baekja (조선 백자). The stark, pristine white porcelain of the Joseon dynasty is revered for its quiet elegance, embodying Confucian ideals of simplicity, purity, and disciplined beauty (절제미, Jeoljemi).

Each piece is meticulously crafted using the traditional Korean Mul-le Seong-hyeong (물레성형) wheel-shaping technique, enhanced by the contemporary Myeon-chi-gi (면치기) facet-cutting method. This thoughtful combination of techniques alters the vessel’s lines, creating subtle, convex curves that gently suggest the soft, layered beauty of a flower petal.

More than just a vessel, this set brings the tranquil sophistication of a traditional Korean artisan home. Perfectly sized for serving soju (술, Sul), traditional liquor (전통주, Jeontongju), or as an elegant pair of dipping sauce bowls, this versatile set adds a distinct, refined grace (단아한 멋, Dan-a-han Meot) to your everyday table. You may choose between the serene Matte (무광, Mu-gwang) or the classic Glossy (유광, Yu-gwang) finish to complement your personal style.

Artist Kim Eun-ho's work is widely recognized for its contribution to modern Korean ceramics, a testament to his mastery of both traditional and contemporary techniques. His pieces have been celebrated globally, including designation as a 2022 KCDF Excellent Craft Product (우수공예품, K-RIBORN) and exhibitions at prestigious events like the Seoul Living Design Fair, solidifying his role in continuing Korea's rich ceramic legacy.
