Han-tsutsu-gata Bowl — Black Japanese Ceramic & 24k Gold Kintsugi

A contemporary Japanese bowl in a han-tsutsu-gata shape, defined by its understated, deep, and slightly cylindrical silhouette. Its deep black glaze, enriched with subtle dark variations and glossy reflections, gives the piece a strong, elegant, and highly graphic presence.

Once broken, the bowl has been restored using the traditional art of kintsugi, with genuine 24k gold. Against the black ceramic, the gold takes on a striking intensity: the fractures are not concealed; they become a precious, almost calligraphic line, transforming the accident into beauty.

A unique piece — contemporary, powerful, and deeply wabi-sabi.
