The Art of Ottchil: A Time-Honored Korean Tradition

Ottchil (옻칠), or Korean lacquer, is a centuries-old craft that has been a fundamental part of Korean heritage. This technique, which uses the sap of the lacquer tree, creates a breathable, protective layer that enhances the wood’s durability while offering a natural, elegant finish.

Red Ottchil, in particular, has been historically associated with nobility and auspicious energy, often used in palace interiors, Buddhist artifacts, and ceremonial items. The process of achieving this rich red hue requires the skilled application of multiple lacquer layers, allowing the color to develop into a deep and radiant tone over time.

The Ottchil Grain Plate – Red not only preserves the essence of traditional Korean craftsmanship but also incorporates the organic texture of sambe (hemp fabric), giving the plate a tactile, earthy quality.

Perfect as a serving plate, decorative piece, or collectible item, this plate represents the fusion of heritage and contemporary design, bringing a timeless piece of Korean artistry into modern living spaces.
