Song Dynasty Blue Vase — Traditional Kintsugi with 24K Gold

A Chinese vase from the Song dynasty, distinguished by its slender silhouette, softly rounded shoulders and richly varied blue-grey glaze. Restored using traditional Japanese kintsugi with urushi lacquer and 24K gold, this unique piece brings together ancient ceramic craftsmanship and the art of repair.

The surface reveals a delicate interplay of blue, charcoal and pale grey, with mottled textures that invite close observation. A short neck, gently flared rim and ring-shaped details lend quiet definition to its elongated form.

The kintsugi restoration introduces subtle golden accents, creating a warm contrast with the cool tones of the glaze. The repairs remain part of the vase’s visible history, adding a new layer to an object already shaped by centuries.

Displayed on its own, this vase offers a contemplative focal point: a piece to appreciate as much for the nuances of its surface as for the balance of its form.
