Made in Korea


"A lush still life filled with symbolic abundance and serene protection."

In this striking composition, a vintage grandfather clock and a clever cat meet to weave a narrative of 'Time' and 'Well-being.' In many cultures, and especially in Korean tradition, the cat is regarded as an auspicious creature that repels negativity and invites good fortune. Rather than a mere observer, the cat in this work serves as a "Gentle Guardian," infusing the room with warmth, vitality, and a peaceful sense of companionship as it shares in our most precious moments.

Surrounding this guardian are vibrant peonies (symbols of wealth and honor) and fruits like watermelon and blueberries (representing fertility, prosperity, and the sweetness of life’s harvest).

This work is a sophisticated modern interpretation of Gimyeong-jeoljido—a traditional Korean genre of still-life painting.

What is Gimyeong-jeoljido (器皿折枝圖)? It is a classic genre focused on the harmonious arrangement of "Gimyeong" (precious ritual vessels) and "Jeolji" (cut sprigs of flowers or fruit). Beyond mere decoration, these paintings were historically placed in homes to elevate the dignity of the space and to act as a visual prayer for the family's continued prosperity and peace.

 

Curator's Note

Ideal for an entryway or study. This piece acts as a modern-day talisman, inviting abundance into your home and watching over the things you cherish most.


Artist, Kyungran Yeo

Kyungran Yeo is a Korean ceramic artist. Her tableware, which are the result of her contemplation of the fundamental ‘use’ of the craft, create a natural and beautiful harmony with everything they contain. 

 

Minhwa Collection

Kyungran draws inspiration from Minhwa (Korean folk painting), a tradition rich with auspicious symbols of fortune, joy, and prosperity. Tigers, magpies, rabbits, and peonies—each carrying centuries of meaning—are reimagined through her unique artistic language.

On her ceramics, these motifs are hand-painted with meticulous care, turning each vessel into a piece that elevates both everyday meals and special gatherings. Her digital drawings, meanwhile, reveal another dimension of her practice, offering a timeless encounter with beauty and symbolism.

Blending tradition with contemporary sensibility, Yeo’s works embody a quiet elegance that resonates far beyond their form.



Care

Surface & Texture: Minor variations in paper texture or tone may occur due to the natural qualities of archival fine art paper. These are inherent characteristics, not flaws.

Framing & Cover: Each print comes in a wooden frame with a crystal-clear protective cover. Avoid placing in direct sunlight or areas with high humidity to ensure longevity.

Cleaning: Gently dust the frame and cover with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Handcrafted Details: As every piece is carefully produced, subtle variations in finish and framing may occur, making each work unique.

Comfortable and light!
Color: Brown, Size: Large
Wanted something that was going to be lightweight but had those longer sleeves because I do still get a tad chilly even on the warmer days. This is perfect, the fabric is lightweight and breathable, the loose cut around the waist adds to the top's "breathability," but it still keeps you cozy and warm on those chilly mornings! The brown is a lovely warm-coffee tone and it hasn't faded a bit in the wash. Very nice shirt to add to your collection!

looks nice, well made and styish.
This was a gift for a friend. It is well made, has a good modern style to it, comfortable to wear, she is taller, and it fits her well. Its a bit warm, so a fall kind of clothing option.

Great for layering or wearing on its own!
I’m 5’6” and ordered the small — it fits perfectly! The color is exactly as shown in the pictures, a beautiful beige that goes with everything. The fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable, making it great for layering or wearing on its own. I’m really happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it!

Nice but not great
Fits true to size. I ordered a small and it was a great fit. Could be a bit softer. Loved the style. Not too thin or not heavy, nice weight. This quality of the sweater was nice, however the buttons broke apart as I was styling the cardigan. Not happy to have to sew on small buttons to fit the small holes. It’s nice but I had to put too much effort into wearing it.
