East German Sphere Vase – Midnight Blue & 24k Gold Kintsugi

East German Sphere Vase – Midnight Blue & 24k Gold Kintsugi

This striking piece, originating from East Germany, captivates with its bold proportions and modernist design. Remarkably bulbous, measuring 25 cm in width and 18 cm in height, the vase boasts a near-spherical silhouette that is both imposing and sculptural. Its matte midnight blue glaze offers a deep, velvety finish reminiscent of a dark nocturnal sky, providing a sober surface that absorbs light with a soft intensity.

Having endured the passage of time, this vase has been reborn through the ancestral art of traditional 24-carat gold Kintsugi. The gold veins break through the matte blue surface, creating a breathtaking contrast between the piece’s structured European heritage and the fluidity of Japanese craftsmanship.

Every seam, now highlighted in precious metal, tells a story of healing and transformation. This vase is a masterful intersection of vintage design and the Wabi-sabi philosophy, proving that even the most solid forms find a new, heightened soul through their scars.
