The “KwangJuYo Ceramics Festival” sale will run for four days beginning April 24 for four days at Monaco Space near Gangnam Station in southern Seoul. Some of the company’s more expensive pieces will be available at discounts up to 80 percent.
The move to the capital city was to provide a better shopping experience to a wider range of customers who have shown a greater interest in plating their food recently.
For those looking to update their kitchen, look out for the company to release its new products on the first day of the festival. There will be some plates made in collaboration with professional artists available as well.
To help shoppers mix and match different products, there will be sample displays of table settings at the festival as well. Those who purchase more than 100,000 won ($88) worth of products can have their new ceramics delivered straight to their home for free.
To see what the country’s other ceramics companies have to offer will require a trip to the 33rd Icheon Ceramics Festival, which kicks off on April 26. Icheon is traditionally known as a town where Korea’s ceramic masters have gathered.
