Gat & Gombangdae Korean Traditional Hat & Pipe Incense Holder
2025
Description
This incense holder is inspired by two iconic symbols of Joseon-era scholars: the gat (traditional hat) and the gombangdae (traditional smoking pipe).
The structure and patterns of an actual gat were meticulously studied and recreated on the ceramic surface, allowing the piece to capture not just a simple form, but the full aesthetic of traditional Korean attire.
The gloss, texture, and flowing lines of the ceramic faithfully reflect the distinctive qualities of the gat, while the silhouette of the gombangdae, slowly tracing the path of burning incense, brings a quiet resonance—bridging the spirit and composure of old scholars into modern space.
This work is more than an incense tool;
it is an objet that offers a contemporary interpretation of the philosophy and sculptural beauty of Korean tradition.
Caution
It is recommended to wash immediately after use.
Please exercise caution during transportation, as the handle area may be delicate.
