White Round Lidded Box

This small minimalist work is a continuation of the centuries-long tradition of Korean White Porcelain.

The pure white glaze has just a subtle gloss, and covers the inside and outside surfaces of the box and its lid.

Lidded boxes are a traditional item of the Korean interior. They are used to hold anything from incense or a mini moss garden to nuts or traditional sweets.  A simple and beautiful way to store, serve or display special things every day.

Korean White Porcelain, or Baekja, was the choice of royalty from the early Joseon era (1392-1897) for its high quality and simple elegance embodying the Confucian values of purity and modesty.  It is still crafted today using the same centuries-old techniques.
