Made in Korea


"A lush still life filled with symbolic abundance and serene protection."

In this striking composition, a vintage grandfather clock and a clever cat meet to weave a narrative of 'Time' and 'Well-being.' In many cultures, and especially in Korean tradition, the cat is regarded as an auspicious creature that repels negativity and invites good fortune. Rather than a mere observer, the cat in this work serves as a "Gentle Guardian," infusing the room with warmth, vitality, and a peaceful sense of companionship as it shares in our most precious moments.

Surrounding this guardian are vibrant peonies (symbols of wealth and honor) and fruits like watermelon and blueberries (representing fertility, prosperity, and the sweetness of life’s harvest).

This work is a sophisticated modern interpretation of Gimyeong-jeoljido—a traditional Korean genre of still-life painting.

What is Gimyeong-jeoljido (器皿折枝圖)? It is a classic genre focused on the harmonious arrangement of "Gimyeong" (precious ritual vessels) and "Jeolji" (cut sprigs of flowers or fruit). Beyond mere decoration, these paintings were historically placed in homes to elevate the dignity of the space and to act as a visual prayer for the family's continued prosperity and peace.

 

Curator's Note

Ideal for an entryway or study. This piece acts as a modern-day talisman, inviting abundance into your home and watching over the things you cherish most.


Artist, Kyungran Yeo

Kyungran Yeo is a Korean ceramic artist. Her tableware, which are the result of her contemplation of the fundamental ‘use’ of the craft, create a natural and beautiful harmony with everything they contain. 

 

Minhwa Collection

Kyungran draws inspiration from Minhwa (Korean folk painting), a tradition rich with auspicious symbols of fortune, joy, and prosperity. Tigers, magpies, rabbits, and peonies—each carrying centuries of meaning—are reimagined through her unique artistic language.

On her ceramics, these motifs are hand-painted with meticulous care, turning each vessel into a piece that elevates both everyday meals and special gatherings. Her digital drawings, meanwhile, reveal another dimension of her practice, offering a timeless encounter with beauty and symbolism.

Blending tradition with contemporary sensibility, Yeo’s works embody a quiet elegance that resonates far beyond their form.



Care

Surface & Texture: Minor variations in paper texture or tone may occur due to the natural qualities of archival fine art paper. These are inherent characteristics, not flaws.

Framing & Cover: Each print comes in a wooden frame with a crystal-clear protective cover. Avoid placing in direct sunlight or areas with high humidity to ensure longevity.

Cleaning: Gently dust the frame and cover with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Handcrafted Details: As every piece is carefully produced, subtle variations in finish and framing may occur, making each work unique.

I love it for my workspace! Hot tea all day
Color: Wood Grain
I love this item. The size is perfect, as I prefer something less bulky for my work desktop. It isn't as fancy as others that has the digital display screen, which is fine by me, because I don't necessarily need that. The knob and different colors that indicate the temperature range works fine. The temperature on this thing works fantastically well for me. Using it on the lowest setting keeps my drink nice and hot in a cold office. I use a heatproof glass teapot with this and its a good fit. It keeps my tea hot throughout the day, so I am able to pour smaller amounts of drink and take my time sipping it throughout the day without worrying that it will get cold. At point I almost forgot that it has an automatic shut-off safety feature when I noticed it was off. So that is a good feature to have. I highly recommend this.

Requires a very specific mug to be useful.
Color: Black
The hotplate itself gets hot enough on its highest setting where it would burn your finger if you left it one there for more then a couple seconds. However when it come to what mug you can use to transfer that heat to your drink, this WILL NOT work with just any old ceramic, metal or glass mugs. You absolutely need to have a perfectly flat bottom on it. If the center of the bottom of the mug does not make direct contact with the very center of the warmer, it will not transfer heat. So straight way plan of spending another $15 to $20. Amazon has some available with good reviews all be it not a very big selection. I'm giving this 4 stars because the description needs to be very clear about this and its not.

Great mug warmer with temp control
Color: Black
I replaced a cheap mug warmer with a couple of these for the house, and for almost the same price this is a lot more functional. I really like the temperature control and silicone surface protector. In combination with the carafe below, this has changed my life - no more microwaving coffee all morning. https://www.amazon.com/GiNT-Stainless-Thermal-Thermos-Retention/dp/B07MW5N7MS

Super Satisfied Customer Here!
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
I purchased the gold/black mug warmer. I always spend a good about of money for great coffee products and I take my time to perfect my coffee for my mornings at work. However, I get pulled into urgent meetings and just something urgent and I always leave more than half of my coffee behind. When I come back it’s cold and that’s very disappointing considering the money and time I spent to make it bc I then have to toss it. I don’t believe in microwaves and I refuse to use one. When I found this, I was super excited! It looks perfect at my desk and it works perfect! I would have liked it to be more on the brass gold like my pen holder, but it’s just as pretty! As you can see, my mug had a layer on the bottom and that made me think it may not work well, but it did the job. My coffee was super warm and it got even hotter as I left it there tearing it. I turned it one before making my coffee, so I’m not sure exactly how long it took to warm up but for me, by the time I got back, it was the peg temperature. I highly recommend this to anyone who has the same struggles. No more cold coffees! Thank you!!!

Neat gadget

Neat little gadget. Works great, easy to use and has a light indicator for temperature range. Keeps a cup of liquid hot right to the bottom.
