The Sobaek Monochrome Bowl L is a ceramic series designed so the bowl itself becomes an everyday objet d'art. Based on premium black clay, it embodies a deep and subtle black-purple tone, enhanced with a beige glaze made by burning charcoal to capture Korean aesthetic sensibility and depth. The strong chiaroscuro contrast and restrained patterns derived from Buncheong slip-decoration technique, along with the layered colors created by the black clay body and glaze surface, subtly evoke the ridge lines of a mountain. Handcrafted one by one by ceramic artist Kim Seung-yong, each piece is uniquely one-of-a-kind with slightly different patterns and textures. As a work that inherits the Buncheong method, a traditional Korean ceramic technique, it transcends everyday tableware to become a vessel for contemplation. With a generous size of 20cm in diameter and 10cm in height, it is ideal for use as a noodle bowl. It is perfect for holding various foods familiar to Koreans such as ramen, noodles, and bibimbap, adding a special atmosphere to an ordinary meal. Diameter: 20cm Height: 10cm Material: Black clay, beige glaze (charcoal-fired) Technique: Buncheong slip-decoration, handmade Artist: Kim Seung-yong Price: ₩86,000
