In the late Joseon Dynasty, when government-controlled ceramics were closed, potters scattered across the country, and folk songs (where ceramics are made in the private sector) flourished in the provinces.
Banggok-ri, Daegang-myeon, is also widely known as one of the places where folk pottery was produced during the Joseon Dynasty, and potters who are still making traditional pottery are still active.
In particular, Seo Dong-gyu, a functional holder, was born and raised there and has been devoted to making starch. In the early days, tea cups centered on Dawan were well received by Japanese favorite artists, and melodies were reproduced using natural yuak.
Banggok-ri Melting has a unique characteristic that it does not spoil, cool quickly, and does not stick to the fat.
In addition, the intense lines, majestic shapes, and delicate yet soft droplets that appear during baking in a pine fire kiln are aesthetic expressions that no one can imitate.
