Discover this unique blue ovoid vase from the 1960s, enhanced by the ancient art of traditional kintsugi. Far from a mere repair, this vase bears the marks of a cherished history, where every crack is transformed into an aesthetic asset.
What makes this piece truly exceptional is the boldness of its restoration. The two main gaps, instead of simply being filled, have been adorned with delicate engravings of peonies in 24-carat gold. These flowers, symbols of wealth, honor, and beauty in Asia, add a poetic dimension and profound meaning to the work.
This unique decoration was created using the Chinkin technique, a meticulous Japanese art of lacquer engraving, where motifs are incised and then inlaid with gold powder.
Standing 11 cm tall, this vase is not just a decorative object; it’s a conversation piece, a testament to the resilience and beauty of imperfection. It will bring a touch of elegance and history to your home.
