Najeon Chilgi Mother of Pearl Plate & Tray — Peony

Overview

This Najeon Chilgi mother-of-pearl plate and tray features the Peony (모란 (moran)) motif, a Korean symbol of wealth and honor. Hand-inlaid iridescent shell is set into deep Korean lacquer, so the design shifts in color as the light moves. It works equally as a display centerpiece on a table or shelf and as a refined serving or catch-all tray for special occasions.

Heritage & Craft

Known as the king of flowers, the peony is Korea's enduring symbol of wealth, honor, and prosperity, long used in wedding and celebratory furnishings to wish abundance on a household. The full, layered blooms are inlaid in mother-of-pearl so that each petal shifts color as the light moves.
