Discovered in Gyeongju, it depicts a serene human face with a calm, almost shy smile. Designated National Treasure No. 2010 by the Korean government on November 27, 2018, the artifact resides at the Gyeongju National Museum and has become a cultural symbol of the historic city - selected as the official emblem for the 2025 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Gyeongju. MU:DS, the official design brand of the National Museum of Korea, has reimagined this iconic smile as a set of three porcelain sauce bowls. The face is embossed into the bottom of each bowl - and when you fill the bowl with soy sauce or dipping liquid, the smile emerges through the surface, creating a moment of quiet warmth at every meal.PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONSProduct NameSmile of Silla Sauce Bowl 3PC SetSet Configuration3 Sauce Bowls + Premium PackageMaterialPorcelain (Matte Finish)Product Dimensions80 x 89 x 22(h) mm per piecePackage Dimensions310 x 145 x 45 mmTotal Weight410 gCountry of ManufactureSouth KoreaBrandNational Museum of Korea (MU:DS)WHAT'S IN THE BOXComplete Set Contents1Sauce Bowl - Gray (80x89x22mm)2Sauce Bowl - Beige (80x89x22mm)3Sauce Bowl - White (80x89x22mm)4Premium Museum Gift PackageNote: Photographed colors may vary slightly due to natural light and screen settings.RECOMMENDED USESVersatile Sauce Bowls + DisplayUse CaseSuitabilitySoy Sauce / Wasabi / Dipping Sauce Designed For ThisKorean Banchan (Side Dishes) ExcellentSushi / Sashimi Service ConfirmedDecorative Display / Curio Shelf ExcellentJewelry / Ring Holder Creative UseMicrowave / Dishwasher / Oven / Induction / Open Flame NOT SAFE Hand wash only with soft sponge.
