Korea’s stunning ceramic traditions date back as early as 57 B.C. and continue to the present. Incheon is a city famous for its pottery with more than 40 traditional wood-fired kilns still operating, including the one owned by Han Do-hyun. It is especially known for white porcelain and celadon.

Han Do-hyun is an exacting and devoted potter who has spent years perfecting each of his techniques. He holds a patent for a type of tea bowl, Gyeyoungbae, which teaches moderation.
