The Sobaek Monochrome Ceramic Spoon and Chopstick Rest is a ceramic tableware piece designed to function as an objet on your everyday dining table. Based on premium dark clay, it features a distinctive color palette created by applying an ash-gray glaze obtained through charcoal combustion, layering deep black with soft ash tones. Using Buncheong, a traditional Korean ceramic technique, it achieves strong contrast and restrained patterning, while the texture of the glazed surface reveals different expressions from every viewing angle. The wide ash-gray surface is ideal for resting a spoon, while the black surface is perfect for chopsticks, allowing functional organization alongside various table arrangements that evoke the atmosphere of a monochromatic artwork. Handcrafted by ceramic artist Kim Seung-yong, each rest features unique patterns and textures, making every piece one-of-a-kind. Price: 18,000 KRW
