"Pojagi" Korean gift wrapping cloth patterned mug (313ml / 11oz) | (19th Century)

Celebrate the art of the everyday with a mug that brings a vibrant piece of Korean heritage to your home. This 313ml (11oz) ceramic mug is inspired by Pojagi, the traditional Korean folk art of creating patchwork wrapping cloths.

Dating back to the Joseon Dynasty, Pojagi (specifically jogakbo) was often created by women using leftover scraps of silk or ramie, turning utility into a geometric masterpiece. This wrap-around design features a striking collage of jewel-toned squares and triangles—vibrant pinks, deep teals, mustard yellows, and earthy plums—separated by the delicate "seams" characteristic of this ancient craft. It is a perfect blend of high-contrast modernism and 19th-century tradition.
