moon jar 피 땀 눈물 NO. 19 small

알면서도 삼켜버린 독이 든 성배
I drank from the poisoned chalice, knowing it was poisoned

translation : Doolset lyrics

Blood, Sweat & Tears is the song that dragged me into the rabbit hole. Amazing story line, great reference, visually an the epic k-pop song and Hobi's silver boots!

This hand build ceramic moon jar with floating green and brown glaze makes me think of the scenen where Namjoon is drinking out of the cup with green liquid. 

The bottom part of the moon jar is unglazed, raw and textured. 

Please be aware of the fact that my moon jars are not perfect. The moon jar was the Korean symbol for beauty at the end of the 17th century. Their organic shape and (originally) milky white color resembles the moon. The asymmetrical shape is formed by two halves that are joined in the middle. The seam, cracks, color differences and the irregular shape are left visual to accentuate the human touch and to show the craftsmanship.

Koreans believe that beauty comes with imperfection and humility. "If you are searching for beauty, you will not find it. Not searching for beauty is beauty."
