Fabric and details
A cropped baeja that translates the soft sea-green of Goryeo celadon into a wool blend knit. The motif is the inlay pattern from a twelfth-century vessel, drawn in ivory yarn against the celadon ground. Cut above the natural waist with a goreum closure.
Mid-weight wool blend knit. Yarn-dyed pattern, no print. Lined through the body.
Occasion
Fall layering over a long jeogori. A morning at the museum. The lunch that gathers people who recognize the green at the door, and the afternoon that finds the wearer in conversation about Goryeo kilns.
See the details.
Goryeo celadon is the green-glazed porcelain that left the kilns at Buan and Gangjin between the eleventh and the fourteenth centuries. The inlay technique that Goryeo potters invented carved a pattern into the wet body and filled the carving with white slip before the glaze. The result was a sea-green vessel with a quiet ivory drawing beneath the surface. The technique was Korean. The achievement was singular.
This baeja reads the porcelain in yarn. A mid-weight wool blend holds the body. Lined through to keep the silhouette clean over a jeogori or a modern blouse.
