The creation of these ceramics involved the application of a rich, dark glaze, typically achieved using iron oxide. This glaze was applied over a stoneware or porcelain body, then fired at high temperatures to produce a glossy, dark finish ranging from deep brown to black. Notable techniques included the "tea-dust" glaze, which exhibited a speckled appearance, and the "oil-spot" glaze, characterized by small, iridescent spots. The high-temperature firing process was crucial for achieving the desired glaze effects and durability. The design of black-glazed ceramics often included intricate carvings, incised, or molded decorations. Common forms included bowls, vases, jars, and ceramic pillows. These pillows, used as headrests, featured detailed designs such as floral patterns, animals, and mythical creatures. An example of this is a black-glazed ceramic pillow from the Jin dynasty, which features carvings of two lions. Similar pieces can be found in the Guanfu Museum, where black-glazed pillows...

This jar features carved decoration typical of Cizhou ware. It is characterized by a creamy white slip contrasting with the brown clay body, and the principal motif appears to be a lotus flower.

The tone shelf is inspired by the traditional colors of Korea, especially "Hanbok," which is a traditional Korean dress for formal occasions. Here, those traditional colors are made into art furniture with a modern sensibility, in Korean jade and sky blue. The tone of the blue gives an elegant and dreamy vibe. As artisans dye each piece of acrylic by hand, the tone in this piece is completely different from that of a mass-produced product, and as such, has its own value as a limited artwork. Wide spaces between the shelves can fit large...
