Joseon Dynasty, Milk White Porcelain

[KwangJuyo] Wolbaek White Moon Series - 2 Person Set (6pcs)

---

Today, we introduce a classic rice & soup bowl set by Kwangjuyo for 2 people.

This is the Wolbaek White Moon Series.

It draws inspiration from Korea’s 18th Century Joseon Dynasty - specifically from the Royal Court's Kiln.

White Porcelain Jars or Moon Jars (달항아리) embodied the art & beauty of Joseon White Porcelain.

This Wolbaek Collection draws inspiration from these Joseon Moon Jars.

The rice and soup bowls take on the characteristic spherical form - with a transparent glaze and a round mouth that is larger than the base.

Each piece is gracefully rounded, with a milk-white surface.

They are handmade in Korea.

This 2-Person Essentials Set comes with 6 pieces:

• 2 x Wolbaek Moon White - Rice Bowl
• 2 x Wolbaek Moon White - Rice Bowl Lid
• 2 x Wolbaek Moon White - Soup Bowl 
  
  

This Wolbaek collection provides a touch of elegance, beauty & tradition when serving Korean Food!

Founded in 1963, Kawngjuyo was the first to successfully commercialize traditional-style Korean ceramics and bring it to the masses.

During Japanese Occupation, Korea was in a recession and many porcelain artisans & operations disbanded. After Liberation, Kwangjuyo’s founder - Master Cho Sosu - pursued his vision to re-gather the nation’s best ceramic artisans. They would setup operations in Gwangju to revive traditional-style Korean porcelain making.

The group was successful and became the first to commercialize traditional-style Korean ceramics.

Kwangjuyo uses its own proprietary clay, made from a blend of premium sentiments from across Korea. The clay is aged for months to prevent cracking during the glazing process (more info in the video).
