The technique behind Na Yong-hwan’s beautifully bucolic buncheong is sanggam, a form of inlaying that was first recorded by Goryeo potters in the mid-12th century. It involves the scraping of porcelain soil onto celadons with pre-stamped or carved designs – the results are rich in form, colour and ornamentation, the all-important three in the world of Korean craft. Yet, while Na Yong-hwan’s pieces honour tradition, they also have a modern sensibility that ensures they slot seamlessly into everyday spaces.
