Guest artist for this event
LEE JAEJUN 이재준
"His work seeks to harmonise functionality and beauty, enriching and enhancing people’s everyday lives. He is currently immersed in an exploration of celadon glaze and reduction firing — seeking to capture its breathing, dynamic essence at its most dramatic and fleeting moment."
Poised Form · Transformed Ver. · 2025
A pale, almost white-blue take on Jaejun Lee's Poised form. The celadon glaze here is at its lightest and most even, extending further down the body than in other pieces from this group, with only the gentlest trace of drip. Below it, a band of fine, evenly-spaced ridges in the unglazed white porcelain catches the light along its horizontal lines. At 18.1 cm, this Transformed version reworks the standard Poised silhouette into something more slender and controlled.
Material: Korean porcelain
Dimensions: H 18.1 × W 11.4 cm
Year: 2025
Curated artworks
Lush Forest Series · Poised · 2024
An elongated, upright vessel from the Lush Forest series, its silhouette narrowing gently from a rounded shoulder to a compact foot. A deeper, more saturated celadon — the darkest tone among Jaejun Lee’s celadon pieces — covers the upper two-thirds of the form, thinning into fine drips as it descends toward the bare white porcelain foot. At 21.4 cm, it is the tallest of this group, standing with the quiet uprightness suggested by its title, Poised.
Material: Korean porcelain
Dimensions: H 21.4 × W 11.6 cm
Year: 2024
Poised Form · 2024
The base version of Jaejun Lee's Poised form: a rounded, upright vessel with a pale mint celadon glaze gathered at the shoulder and released in thin, controlled drips that taper into small points at the base, as if the vessel were standing on the glaze itself. At 18.5 cm, it is the most restrained expression of this form in the group — closest to a simple, balanced silhouette.
Material: Korean porcelain
Dimensions: H 18.5 × W 10.1 cm
Year: 2024
Celadon Vessel “Wearing a Hat Form” · Gentle Rise Ver. · 2025
A rounded porcelain vessel crowned with a raised, dome-like form that gives the piece its name. A pale, mist-toned celadon glaze pools at the crown and drains in soft vertical runs down the shoulder, giving way to the bare white porcelain below. Wheel-thrown and fired in gas reduction at Cone 9, each run of glaze is fixed permanently in the kiln, unrepeatable. At 17.4 cm, it is a quiet, self-contained presence.
Material: Korean porcelain
Dimensions: H 17.4 × W 13.0 cm
Year: 2025
From September 15 to 19, 2026.
Opening reception on the evening of September 16.
Open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at 25 rue de Beaune, Paris 7th arrondissement.

A compact, wide-shouldered vase closely related to Vase VII, its surface marked by a single wavy seam that curves from the narrow mouth down to the hexagonal foot. At 14 cm, it is one of the smaller vessels in the collection, dense and rounded in the hand.
Material: Mixed clay
Dimensions: 14.0 × 12.5 × 12.5 cm
Year: 2026
CHUNG YOUNGRAK 정영락
Mother Earth Series · 2025
A low, wide onggi vessel from Chung Youngrak's Mother Earth series. The dark, rough-textured surface is marked with incised arcs — spare, gestural lines scratched directly into the clay, suggesting spring grasses or water rising. Close to the ground, the form holds its presence quietly.
Material: Onggi clay (earthenware)
Dimensions: 32.0 × 33.0 × 20.0 cm
Year: 2025
KIM DEOKHO 김덕호
Vestige Series · 2025
A tall vessel of exceptional formal clarity. Its surface is divided into precise geometric planes — each facet catching light at a different angle, moving between deep cobalt and a more expansive mineral blue. At 48.6 cm, Vestige_CC468_2025 commands space quietly. It is one of the most significant pieces from Kim Deokho's current body of work.
Material: Porcelaine
Dimensions: 48.6 × 18.1 × 18.1 cm
Year: 2025
KIM HOJUNG 김호정
Blue Moon Series · 2025
The most significant work in Kim Hojung's Blue Moon series. At H 34.5 × Ø 33.5 cm, Blessing I is monumental in presence — a near-perfect sphere with blue stains, the ancient surface of Korean Neolithic pottery made entirely new.
Material: White porcelain
Dimensions: H 34.5 × Ø 33.5 cm
Year: 2025

The Art of Korean Ceramics
Korean ceramics have always been shaped by what they leave out — no excess, no surface that doesn't earn its place. That discipline runs through centuries of celadon and onggi, and it runs through every artist gathered here. Korean-Ceramics.com brings their work to Paris through a selection made by Magna Gallery, chosen for the depth and integrity of each practice.
