moon jar Spring day (no. 3) small

추운 겨울 끝을 지나
Past the edge of cold winter,

다시 봄날이 올 때까지
until the spring day comes again,

Spring day translation : Doolset lyrics

This moon jar is made out of a light, soft green glaze with a lot of movementand a logh brown undertone. 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."
