Slivers of iridescent mother-of-pearl are set by hand into lustrous black lacquer, catching the light in shifting rainbow tones. It works equally as a display centerpiece on a table or shelf and as a refined serving or catch-all tray for special occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHeritage \u0026amp; Craft\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNajeon-chilgi is the Korean art of inlaying cut mother-of-pearl into lacquered wood. Thin pieces of shell are shaped, laid into successive coats of natural lacquer (ottchil), and polished smooth, a slow layered process that gives the surface its depth and durable, glowing finish. The undecorated ground lets the natural iridescence of the shell take center stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eArtist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece is attributed to Park In-ho, a Korean najeon-chilgi artisan. Because every motif is cut and laid by hand, each work carries its own subtle variations—making this an effectively one-of-a-kind piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: wood with natural Korean lacquer (ottchil) and mother-of-pearl (najeon) inlay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: decorative plate and tray, large size; exact dimensions shown in the product images.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: dust with a soft, dry cloth; keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to protect the lacquer and shell inlay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Handcrafted in Korea (najeon-chilgi, mother-of-pearl inlaid lacquerware).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGifting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented in its display-ready form, this piece makes an elegant gift for weddings, anniversaries, corporate occasions, or for overseas friends seeking a distinctive token of Korean artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"K-Crafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57036016582816,"sku":"DE0067","price":279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5094\/3904\/files\/1815_shop1_453797.jpg?v=1780306212","url":"https:\/\/www.kcrafts.kr\/products\/de0067","provider":"K-Crafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
