Gyeol

£450.00

A single strand of wanggol reed spirals from the center of the vessel outward, without ever breaking. The result is a fine, ridged texture you can feel with your hand — like the grain of wood.

The weave holds its shape, but stays open enough to let air through. Whatever it holds — tea, dried herbs, small keepsakes — stays close, never sealed shut.

Gyeol carries the mark of thousands of careful, steady movements, woven by hand. To protect something well doesn't always mean closing it off — sometimes, it simply means letting it breathe.

The Craft

Each piece is shaped by hand, so slight variations in texture and weave are natural and to be expected — not defects, but the signature of true craftsmanship.
