The Project

“The Moon Jar represents simplicity, humility, modesty, purity. These three small moon-jar-inspired vessels represent the cycle of life. These works, rendered in raw, high-fire porcelain evolve as the lip of each vessel unfolds like a flower. Each Moon Jar is made from a bone-white porcelain clay, with forms rendered to mimic the brevity of life, while at the same time, showcasing a resilience vitrified by fire, becoming an object that will last for thousands of years. These works will serve as witness to the many simplistic cycles of life that are yet to come.” 
– Se Oh

Sold as a set of three or individually, each Moon Jar will be hand thrown and fired by the artist in their studio following the order. As each vessel is made by hand, they will slightly vary from the present example. Please allow up to 12 weeks following your order for fabrication and delivery.
