The Enigma of Darkness in a Tenmoku Kintsugi Chawan
Imagine the comforting warmth of tea, awakening the senses in the silence of a starry night. This is the experience that this Tenmoku-shaped chawan, in black porcelain, invites you to live. Designed to concentrate heat and enhance the color of tea, it is a treasure for connoisseurs, a symbol of mystery and harmony.
Crafted in porcelain, its deep and glossy glaze is a profound black. The potter’s mark, subtly inscribed on the foot, attests to its authenticity. With its precise dimensions (11 cm in diameter, 7 cm in height), it offers a balanced grip and a perfect capacity to savor every nuance of the tea.
Broken by the passage of time, this chawan has been brought back to life by the art of Kintsugi. I have repaired its cracks with infinite patience, using 24-karat pure gold to highlight the scars of the past. Each golden vein tells a story, that of transformation and the beauty of impermanence.
This chawan is more than a simple object, it is an invitation to contemplation. The warmth of the tea, the smoothness of the porcelain, the brilliance of the gold, all combine to create a moment of serenity. Restored with food-safe materials, it can be used for drinking with complete safety.
Whether you are a master of the tea ceremony, a collector of Asian art, or simply looking for a unique object imbued with soul, this Tenmoku Kintsugi chawan is a treasure to cherish, a reflection of darkness and light, a symbol of eternal beauty.
