Peony Elegance in Mother-of-Pearl: Najeonchilgi Vases by Master Artisan Park In-ho

In Korean craftsmanship, beauty is never rushed; it is layered, polished, and breathed into life through patience, skill, and devotion.
The Najeonchilgi Peony Vases by Park In-ho are a poetic example of this philosophy, bringing centuries-old artistry into the modern home.

Crafted using the revered Korean Najeonchilgi technique, the art of mother-of-pearl inlay, this set of three decorative bottles glows with soft iridescence, capturing light and elegance from every angle.

Peony: A Symbol of Prosperity & Grace

The peony (모란, Moran) holds a special place in Korean culture, symbolizing:

  • Prosperity & good fortune

  • Feminine elegance

  • Beauty & honor

  • Timeless celebration and abundance

In royal history, peonies were often featured in palace décor and silk embroideries, a flower befitting noble homes and ceremonial art.

These vases honor that legacy, bringing luxury rooted in tradition to your space.


The Art of Najeonchilgi: Light Captured in Shell

Najeonchilgi (나전칠기) is an ancient craft where natural mother-of-pearl is hand-cut, shaped, and delicately inlaid into lacquer-finished vessels.

Each shimmering fragment is individually placed, creating a dance of color and depth that changes with the light, soft greens, pearl whites, gentle pinks, and subtle blues.

No two pieces are ever identical.
Each one whispers the story of the artisan who made it.


Crafted by Park In-ho

Master artisan Park In-ho continues a legacy of precision and artistic discipline. His work blends traditional Korean techniques with contemporary design sensibilities, offering collectors and admirers access to museum-style craftsmanship for modern homes.

Every curve, every pearl fragment, every polished surface carries his signature attention to detail.
