Premium Quality, Korean Yugi Ware 

[Nothyang] Pretty Flower Yugi Plate

Yugi is Back in Vogue.

Traditionally, every Korean household owned a full set of Yugi (Bangjja) brassware. From tableware to cutlery, Yugi was the material of choice for its superb quality, beautiful golden luster, and refined craftsmanship.

In the past, Koreans used porcelain bowls during the summer to bring lightness and freshness to the table. But when winter arrived, porcelain was replaced with Yugi — its warm, golden hue made food look more appetizing, and its excellent heat retention kept dishes warm for longer.

After the Korean War, however, the rise of consumer plastics nearly wiped out Korea’s brassware industry. Most workshops closed their doors, and only a handful of artisans kept the tradition alive, preserving the meticulous bangjja technique passed down through generations.

Among them, Nothyang stands out for its modern interpretation of traditional Korean Yugi.

Today, we feature their beautifully crafted Pretty Flower Yugi Plate — offered in three sizes. The plate’s edge is shaped like a delicate flower, giving it a familiar and inviting charm that complements any Korean meal.

Available Sizes

• Large (23cm): Ideal for serving family-style dishes like bulgogi, braised dishes (galbi-jjim), or salads.
  
  
• Medium (20cm): Perfect as individual banchan plates — great for fruit or medium-sized side dishes.
  
  
• Small: Best for serving dips, jeotgal, or small appetizers.
  
  

What separates Korean Yugi (also known as Bangjja) from other bronze or brassware is its precise alloy ratio — 78% copper and 22% tin.

This exact composition gives Yugi its natural golden sheen, which gradually deepens in warmth and character with regular use and cleaning.

Beyond its beauty, Yugi also has self-sterilizing properties — it naturally kills and prevents viruses, bacteria, and microorganisms from growing on its surface. This is why Yugi was historically used to serve the Korean Royal Family and Court.

Nothyang has been honored as the #1 Top Winner in Korea Best Brands for Yugi Brassware for five consecutive years (as of 2024).

They are also ISO 9001 certified, ensuring every stage of production meets world-class quality standards.
