{"product_id":"celadon-in-the-house-wine-stopper","title":"Celadon in the house wine stopper","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wine stopper in cast zinc alloy, colored in enamel, shaped as a Joseon jar the size of a thumb. Two designs. The green one is \u003cem\u003echeongja\u003c\/em\u003e (청자), Goryeo celadon, carrying \u003cem\u003eunhakmun\u003c\/em\u003e (운학문) — cranes flying between clouds inside white roundels, the pattern Goryeo potters inlaid into celadon for the court and the aristocracy, read then as longevity and good fortune. The white one is \u003cem\u003echeonghwa baekja\u003c\/em\u003e (청화백자), blue-and-white porcelain, with plum and bamboo drawn in cobalt, the pair a Joseon scholar kept for what they stood for: a flower that opens in the cold, and a stem that stays green and straight through it. Mimidar raised every outline in brass between the enamel fields, so each line sits slightly proud of the color the way inlay does on the real jars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection class=\"description\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything above the plug is solid metal, and the weight is part of how the seal holds. The silicone below steps down through five ridges and closes bottle mouths from 16 to 20 mm, so whisky, spirits and oil bottles keep under it as well as wine; it seals without going all the way in. 100 mm tall and 120 g, so a stoppered bottle stands well above the neck and will not clear a low fridge shelf. The plug is KCC silicone, SGS-certified, and pulls off the metal for washing; its color is the dark grey of a roof tile, chosen so that red wine does not show on it. Mimidar spent a year testing the plug against more than a hundred glass bottles before the design was fixed, and the stopper took the 2025 Presidential Award at Korea's tourism souvenir competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is the throne room at Gyeongbokgung, shrunk, and it is built in wood rather than card: \u003cem\u003ekkotsalmun\u003c\/em\u003e (꽃살문) lattice on the doors, which shut on magnets, the \u003cem\u003eIrwolobongdo\u003c\/em\u003e screen inside, and the stopper standing on the red seat at the center in a microfibre and EVA bed that holds it steady through repeated use. It ships in the case, so it needs no wrapping, and the case is solid enough to keep afterwards as a box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMimidar's other stopper, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/magpie-and-tiger-wine-stopper\"\u003eMagpie and tiger wine stopper\u003c\/a\u003e, takes its design from folk painting rather than court ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"care\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Mimidar","offers":[{"title":"Goryeo celadon","offer_id":47257221136559,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue and white","offer_id":47257221169327,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5917\/1503\/files\/celadon-in-the-house-wine-stopper-v2-01-hero.jpg?v=1785220616","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsoodam.com\/products\/celadon-in-the-house-wine-stopper","provider":"Soodam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
