Candles – why South Korea?

Kimchi is a well-seasoned side that comes along with Korean meals.

Onggi (Korean: 옹기, 甕器) is Korean earthenware extensively used as tableware and storage containers in Korea.

It includes both unglazed earthenware, fired near 600 to 700°C, and pottery with a dark brown glaze fired at over 1100 °C.

The origin of onggi dates to around 4000 to 5000 BC. 

The types of earthenware include patternless, mumun, and a red and black variety.

The patternless earthenware is made with lumps of clay and fine sand. The predecessor of Goryeo celadon and Joseon white porcelain, the black/red earthenware excludes any sand in its creation process. The earthenware’s color is determined by both the iron content of the clay and the method used to fire it.

Earth, Fire – that’s why we chose this pot and asked that a fragrance be created also in South Korea especially for this collection. It was made using essences that do not influence the presentation (color in particular) of the bracelet and that are pleasant for its use, when lighting the candle.
