Made in Korea

The moon jar is more than a vessel—it is a symbol of Korean aesthetics and sensibility.
Its round, generous form resembles a full moon, while the soft white hue of porcelain embodies serene balance and harmony.

In the Joseon Dynasty, white porcelain represented purity and restraint. Among them, the moon jar was cherished for its quiet simplicity and profound presence.
Even today, many artists continue to pay homage to its form, reinterpreting its timeless beauty through their own perspectives.

An elegance that transcends time yet continues to stir the heart—that is the moon jar.

This work, created by artist Kyungsoo Kim, captures a subtle bluish tone unique to his porcelain and reveals a natural, graceful form that exudes quiet sophistication.

White Porcelain Collection

The 'White Porcelain Collection' showcases the most beautiful forms that pure white porcelain can achieve. White porcelain is a traditional Korean ceramic form, with its history traceable back to around the 10th century. Particularly in the 14th century, coinciding with the neo-Confucian ideology of the Joseon Dynasty, white porcelain became a symbol of frugal moderation and a representation of the scholars who governed society at the time. Fired at the highest temperatures, white porcelain is durable and light, making it excellent for tableware. Furthermore, it holds significant value as a collectible art object. The white porcelain moon jar, in particular, is one of the most notable collections in today's art market.
