Jang Hun Seong Gaiwan

Product Specs:
Gaiwan, 120ml
Ceramic

This handmade ceramic gaiwan by Jang Hun Seong is designed for everyday tea brewing. The bowl, lid, and saucer are well balanced in the hand, with a form that feels natural to use. Its ash glaze, made from rice straw, creates soft variations across the surface during firing.

Jang Hun Seong is a Korean ceramic artist based in Icheon, a region known for its long ceramic tradition. His work reflects a focus on material and process, shaped by years of studying both Korean and Japanese pottery.

He creates his own ash glaze using rice straw, known as “Hoeryong” glaze. Applied as a second layer, it flows naturally during firing, creating soft, marbled patterns. Each piece shows subtle variations, reflecting the character of the clay and the making process.

• Handmade by Jang Hun Seong in Icheon, Korea
