Duo of Blue floor vases Kintsugi “Ivu” + ” Sukoshi”

A Pair of Meiping Vases: Timeless Elegance

Elevate your space with this magnificent pair of earthenware jars, each an impressive 100 cm high. These pieces are based on one of the most celebrated vase shapes in Chinese art: the Meiping. This simple yet voluptuous silhouette dates back over 1,000 years. For centuries, its imposing format and the perfection of its volumes demanded exceptional technical mastery, making it a tour de force for potters.

This refined silhouette has transcended time, becoming an enduring classic of Asian art. Originally designed with a lid to hold alcohol, these jars are now highly prized by collectors as sophisticated decorative objects.

Kintsugi-Inspired Gold Artistry

Each jar has been uniquely enhanced through meticulous craftsmanship. The surface has been incised and then magnified by the application of pure 24-carat gold to imitate the cracks restored with kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold. This patient, luminous work makes each jar absolutely unique.

Presented as a majestic pair, they can serve as stunning vases or as monumental works of art displayed in your home, commanding attention as the centerpiece of your interior decoration.

Myriam’s View:

I’m particularly sensitive to Meiping vases; their timelessness and modernity are very touching. In France, we’re lucky enough to be able to admire one of the rarest masterpieces of its kind at the Musée Guimet!
