Discover a collectible piece of singular beauty and history: a Japanese stoneware bowl in the traditional “wan nari” form. This classic profile, with its soft, harmonious curves, evokes the elegant sobriety of Japanese ceramics.

With a diameter of 4.9 inches and a height of 2.4 inches, this bowl offers an ideal capacity for various applications, from tea tasting to presenting small culinary preparations.

Its deep red glaze is contrasted by a brown rim, creating a subtle and refined visual dialogue typical of characterful pottery. Underneath the foot, a handwritten signature attests to its origin and the artisan who shaped it, adding a dimension of authenticity and intrigue for the connoisseur.

Initially broken, this bowl was magnificently restored using the traditional Kintsugi technique with 22-carat gold. Far from concealing imperfection, this ancient Japanese method celebrates resilience by transforming fractures into lines of pure gold, creating a unique pattern that testifies to its history and renewed value.

A major advantage of this Kintsugi-restored piece is its compatibility with food use. You can fully enjoy this bowl for tasting beverages or dishes, blending aesthetic pleasure with function.

This bowl isn’t just an object; it’s a work of art that embodies the philosophy of Kintsugi: beauty lies not only in perfection, but also in scars, in the strength and beauty of repair. It makes an exceptional addition to any collection of Japanese ceramics or for the enlightened art enthusiast.
