Kintsugi bowl with peony

This delicately crafted stoneware bowl from Japan is an ode to beauty and resilience. Its simple, elegant form is enhanced by a delicate pink peony, a symbol of wealth, prosperity, and love in Asia. This ephemeral flower, with its fragile beauty, finds a second life here thanks to the ancient art of kintsugi.

Broken and carefully restored, this 11 cm diameter, 8 cm high bowl reveals a unique story, where each golden crack tells a chapter. The technique of kintsugi, which involves repairing ceramics with 22-karat gold lacquer, elevates imperfections, transforming them into decorative elements. Just as the peony is reborn each spring, this bowl finds a new beauty, richer and deeper.

The potter’s signature on the underside attests to the authenticity of this handcrafted piece, which invites you to savor every moment. As you sip your tea from this bowl, you connect with a thousand-year-old tradition, where beauty resides as much in the object as in the story it carries.
