Description:

This large blue Japanese bowl with cherry blossoms has been broken into 7+ pieces, then repaired using the Kintsugi pottery method (glued back together with gold, highlighting the breaks and making the piece most beautiful where it had once been broken). This is real kintsugi pottery, the breaks are genuine and not simply painted on.

Comes with a specially-designed card explaining the philosophy of kintsugi (see photo 3)

Dimensions:

7 inches wide, 7 inches deep and 4 inches tall (18 cm x 18 cm x 10 cm). Larger than most kintsugi bowls.

About Kintsugi:

Kintsugi is the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold. Breakages and repairs are part of the history of an object and must be shown and not hidden. The gold repair makes the object more beautiful for having been broken, the Japanese concept of wabi sabi. Kintsugi is a metaphor for overcoming our worst experiences- we emerge stronger and more beautiful for our scars.

Yes! The pottery in my store has genuinely been broken into pieces, then repaired.

Unfortunately, much of the 'kintsugi' on the market has 'breaks' that are not breaks at all- they have simply been painted onto intact pottery. I am of the opinion that this practice defeats the entire philosophy behind kintsugi. I take pride in the fact that my pieces are genuinely broken and repaired- I have scars on my hands to prove it.

Yes! Each of my pieces comes with a specially designed card explaining kintsugi and the philosophy behind it. The card says "Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing breaks in pottery with gold. The gold repair celebrates, rather than hides, the flaws: the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, A tenet of kintsugi is that we are more beautiful for our scars."

Kintsugi is intended for display, rather than dining use. This kintsugi repair is not food safe, and liquid will damage the gold repair. Furthermore, kintsugi should not be washed with soap and water. Instead, please use your kintsugi bowl or cup to hold jewelry, watches coins, or potpourri, or simply display it alone as a beautiful piece of home decor.

Similarly, kintsugi vases should not hold water. Instead, please use them to display dried or artificial flowers, or simply display them on their own.
