Concept
It could be that celadon was compared to a precious green flower by people during the Goryeo Dynasty. The pride and love felt by people of the era for their beautiful celadon might have been beyond anything we could imagine. Celadon-inspired products have been developed in the hope that you, too, can enjoy Goryeo-era celadon - as green as jade and as radiant as crystal - in your daily life. It is hoped that the artistic creation that may have been cherished by the Goryeo people like green flowers will take on new and special meanings for us today.
The rich blue pigment used for adorning white porcelain has long been considered a noble hue and the pigment was historically difficult to obtain. In painting, the blue derived from lapis lazuli - a rare mineral more precious than gold - was traditionally reserved for only the most esteemed subjects. In the same spirit, this product was designed as a meaningful gift for someone truly special.
Features
