🌸 THE STORY OF SEOLJUNGMAE

The design features Seoljungmae (설중매), the plum blossom that blooms through the snow.

In Korean culture, the plum blossom is admired as a symbol of hope, perseverance, and the arrival of spring.

Blooming despite the cold winter, it carries a meaningful message of overcoming hardship and welcoming a new beginning.

✨ 100% HANDMADE IN KOREA

Every stage of production is completed by hand.

After the traditional brass cups are finished with lacquer, the plum blossom motifs are individually painted by hand using colored lacquer.

Because each piece is handmade, subtle variations in shape, color, brushwork, and pattern may occur. These natural differences are part of the character and beauty of authentic handcrafted work.

🌿 ABOUT NATURAL LACQUER

Traditional lacquer has long been used in Korean craftwork as a natural finishing material.

Because natural lacquer continues to mature over time, newly produced pieces may initially show slightly darker or gray-toned details.

Over approximately 2–3 months, the lacquer may gradually brighten and reveal a richer appearance.

This natural aging process is part of the unique character of traditional lacquerware.
