5 out of 5 starsI recently had the pleasure of acquiring a Japanese ceremonial tea cup repaired using kintsugi from the incredibly talented artisan, Marco. To say that I am enamored with this piece would be an understatement. Marco's skill and attention to detail are nothing short of exceptional, making him an absolute genius in the realm of kintsugi.Having been a loyal customer of Marco for some time now, I have had the privilege of owning numerous pieces created by his gifted hands. This was a gift to a dear friend who happens to have an extensive collection of over 25 kintsugi items. Upon presenting the tea cup to my friend, He couldn't help but exclaim that Marco's workmanship surpasses anything he has ever encountered. From the seamless repair lines to the artful use of gold, the cup radiates a harmonious blend of resilience and beauty.

5 out of 5 starsThis is an amazing "teacup". I'm not an expert but it seems to be very high quality. The service, communication and shipping speed are all excellent.

5 out of 5 starsI was so nervous ordering such a fragile and expensive item from overseas. I was also nervous about the authenticity as I have seen many "kintsugi" looking items online but I wanted the real thing. When the item arrived I was NOT disappointed. It was delivered quickly and the gift box it was packaged in was also a nice touch. I'm no expert but the cup appears to be of the highest quality.
