Japanese Celadon Vase – Floral Underglaze & 24k Gold Kintsugi

This celadon vase is a masterpiece of Japanese elegance and restraint. Standing 16 cm tall, it features the iconic jade-green glaze, whose ethereal transparency unveils a delicate floral motif engraved “underglaze.” This subtle technique creates a dance with the light, revealing intricate botanical details that appear and fade depending on the angle of view.

Having suffered the passage of time, this precious vessel has been reborn through the ancestral art of traditional 24-carat gold Kintsugi. The golden seams provide a stunning contrast to the soft celadon hues, merging the powdered green of the porcelain with the solar brilliance of pure gold. This restoration transforms the fracture into a deliberate element of beauty, celebrating the object’s history and resilience.

A Complete Collector’s Set: The vase is accompanied by its original Tomobako (signed wooden box), ensuring its provenance and value within the Japanese ceramic tradition. It is a profound expression of the Wabi-sabi philosophy—a unique collector’s piece where fragility becomes strength.
