Plum blossom silver cloisonné gyeyeongbae cup sky blue Plum Blossom Silver Cloisonné Gyeyoungbae by Cheyul. Material: Silver990, Cloisonne. Size: W50 x D50 x H55 (mm). The Gyeyeongbae (戒盈杯), or the "Cup of Fullness Alert," is a mystical vessel that imparts life’s wisdom by guarding against excess; when filled beyond 70 percent of its capacity, the liquid completely drains away, embodying the virtue of moderation and the warning against overindulgence. Inheriting the historical values and the noble spirit of the Joseon Dynasty—which prioritized the elegance of "just enough"—this work features noble plum blossom motifs applied to a pure silver cup using CHEYUL’s exquisite Silver Cloisonné technique. Harmonizing the resilient vitality of the plum blossom, which is the first to bloom after enduring the harsh winter, with the jewel-like brilliance unique to enamel, this piece transcends being a mere vessel to become an artistic objet d'art that offers a moment of noble self-reflection. Cheyul is a Seoul atelier making lacquer and mother-of-pearl tableware, objects and jewellery by hand; made-to-order pieces can take 3–6 weeks.
