Titled with the Korean word for wave, the jar was thrown by Young Sook Park at her Seoul studio in the seventeenth-century Joseon dalhangari tradition, where two separate halves are kiln-fired and come together to form the moon-shaped jar, and worked closely with Charles de Viel Castel of CVC Stones who added drilled holes into the completed works to set the diamonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePark's dalhangari practice already operates on precarious terms: the two-hemisphere joining, the unpredictable kiln survival rate (only ten percent make it out whole), the imperfect asymmetry that defines a successful moon jar. Entrusting a completed vessel to de Viel Castel's drilling technique introduces a second round of structural risk on top of the first. The piece is one of only two large-format jars produced through the Young Sook Park × de Viel Castel collaboration — the rest of the series comprises of five medium jars — which places Pado at the top of the run by both scale and rarity. The diamonds function as a subtle new dimension across the porcelain rather than as ornamentation, catching light against the pure white glaze in a way that reveals them gradually to closer looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Young Sook Park × de Viel Castel collaboration produced a small run of moon jars — two large and five medium — released through YSP Gallery, drawing on constellation imagery as the guiding design language. The collaboration itself emerged from a shared belief between the two artists in transcending natural materials — clay on Park's side, stone on de Viel Castel's — and set out to open a new dialogue around the limitations and expectations of ceramic art. The result is a convergence of trust, vision, and tension, built on mutual admiration between the Seoul and New York studios and a shared reverence for the integrity of both clay and stone. Rather than functioning as adornment, the diamonds bring out a new dimension through their subtle placement — an invitation to closer looking rather than a decorative act.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Young Sook Park (B. 1947) x CVC Stones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48908740624633,"sku":"JP-47234-WHT-0ONEU","price":310000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/2783\/5385\/files\/fb104324-3c84-4693-97e7-f2664f3aab70.jpg?v=1787865074","url":"https:\/\/shop.joopiter.com\/products\/pado","provider":"Joopiter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
