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...

This vessel is an exceptionally rare example believed to represent a Cong-shaped ceramic attributable to the Jin Dynasty, and it may be the only known ceramic work of this form from the period. While certain formal similarities have led some scholars to tentatively associate it with the Song Dynasty or later, the present work is more convincingly attributed to the Western Jin Dynasty (3rd–4th century CE). The vessel is constructed with a cylindrical inner structure and a square outer profile, conforming to the characteristic geometry of the ancient Cong (琮) form. Its surface is decorated with restrained geometric incised patterns. This structural concept is directly derived from ancient jade Cong (玉琮), which represent the earliest and most authoritative prototypes of the form. Jade Congs...
