Geochang Yugi, which has been carrying on its unique technique for over 100 years and four generations
since 1924, has brought a whole light based on its aesthetic philosophy. We create 'works' manually
that reveal the original value of the materials, not the 'products' that are produced mechanically at the factory.
Philosophy of Sincerity 'Handicraft', The only bowl in the world
Geochang Yugi makes proper bowls by the hand of craftsmen, not by a machine. The signature engraved on each piece is a wish of Geochang Yugi to give everyone something special.
Reasonable persistence
Geochang Yugi products increase the value of bronzeware by making with high quality casting. The fine machining of castings makes the surface smooth and easy to maintain.
For better health 'Geochang Yugi'
It suppresses and sterilizes harmful germs and makes healthy dining table. Also, the bowls of Geochang Yugi contain the essence of health, including warmth and softness as well as freshness of food.
Best materials and best ration ‘Copper 78 and Tin 22’
Once in a 1,500℃ furnace, again in a 1,200℃ crucible. It recreates ordinary copper and tin as special ingredients.
An effort for perfect quality, It is a promise we have kept for 100 years.
