Start Your Mornings with A Smile

[Yeogi Damki] Breakfast with Neighbors - Plates

Today, we are very excited to bring you Yeogi Damki!

Yeogi Damki is a boutique ceramic shop located in Icheon, Korea. The shop owner and skilled artisan Kyungran Yeo has a passion for doodling - combined with decades of experience in making Korean ceramics. 

We've been personally using these plates for breakfast and simply love them. It brings us small joy to look at the expression of the ladies drawn on the plates.

The artisan explained to us that the ladies are purposely drawn with "blank expressions" (무표정 in Korean). 

But when we look at them, they look slightly angry/confused... as if they're annoyed that we're looking at them! 

On some mornings, their faces look slightly sad to us - as if they're thinking "is the day over?"

Perhaps... it's a reflection of our state-of-mind! 

Nonetheless, these beautiful plates have been making us smirk in the mornings - which is way we have fallen in love with them. 

The plates are perfectly sized for a piece of toast, hardboiled egg and/or pieces of fruit.

We introduce two different breakfast plates: Soomin Plate & Hyunji Plate

Each of the ceramic pieces are handmade using premium Korean white clay, and directly made by Kyungran in small batches (not bulk-made in an industrial factory).

If you're looking for unique Korean ceramic pieces to personalize your kitchen, Yeogi Damki's Breakfast Plates are great!
