Korean Buncheong Ceramic High-Footed Round Tea Tray

Meet the Korean Buncheong Ceramic High-Footed Round Tea Tray, wheel-thrown and handcrafted by ceramicist Hunseong Jang based in Icheon, South Korea. This handcrafted tea tray by Hunseong Jang reflects the understated beauty of Korean Buncheong ceramics. The shallow circular form rests on gently arched feet, creating a sense of lightness and elevation despite its solid presence. Soft glaze variation, fine speckling, and natural firing marks reveal the spontaneity and material honesty central to the Buncheong tradition. Ideal for tea ritual, small presentations, or as a sculptural tabletop object. Each piece is individually thrown and glazed by hand; natural variations in shape, color, and surface are to be expected and embraced. The teapot and cups are not included. Dimensions:  approx. Ø 7.5"x H 2" Food-safe. Lead-free. Handcrafted in Korea. About Hunseong Jang: Hun Seong Jang is based in Icheon, South Korea where he owns his own ceramic studio. He studied Korean and Japanese ceramics for many years in search of Korean-ness. He specializes in making Korean buncheong ware. About Buncheong ware: Buncheong ceramics emerged in Korea at the end of the 14th century from the tradition of inlaid celadon of the late Goryeo period (918–1392). In contrast to the refined elegance of Goryeo celadon, buncheong feels natural, unassuming and even rustic. However, in the 16th century, due to the Imjin war, Korean potters were taken to Japan, where they started to influence Japanese ceramics especially for use in Japanese tea ceremonies. In Japan, Buncheong came to be known as Kohiki.
