The Art of Ottchil: A Time-Honored Korean Tradition

Ottchil (옻칠), or Korean lacquer, is a traditional craft that dates back over 1,000 years. Derived from the sap of the lacquer tree, this natural coating technique was historically used in Korean royal courtware, Buddhist temple crafts, and fine household items due to its durability, antibacterial properties, and elegant finish.

Unlike modern synthetic coatings, Ottchil creates a breathable, long-lasting protective layer that enhances the wood’s resilience while maintaining its natural beauty. The labor-intensive process requires skilled artisans to apply multiple layers, allowing each coat to cure and deepen in luster over time.

This Ottchil Grain Plate not only celebrates the tradition of Korean lacquerware but also integrates the unique texture of sambe (hemp fabric), revealing an organic, tactile pattern that embodies the harmony between nature and craftsmanship.

Whether used as a serving plate, decorative piece, or collectible item, this plate serves as a bridge between heritage and contemporary living, bringing a piece of Korea’s artistic legacy into your home.
