Measuring 12 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height, its Wan Nari (碗形) shape, characterized by a soft, harmonious silhouette, is highly prized for its perfect balance and delicate feel, inviting moments of peaceful tasting.
This brilliant white bowl is adorned with a delicate decor of peonies and a bird. The peonies, symbols of wealth, prosperity, and honor in Japan, are depicted in a swirl of pink petals that evoke the ephemeral beauty of life. The bird, perched among the flowers, adds a touch of grace and freedom to the whole composition. This pictorial arrangement transforms the bowl into a true work of art.
The Glistening Renaissance of 24k Gold Kintsugi
Once broken, this bowl has been magnificently resurrected using the ancient technique of kintsugi. Rather than being hidden, its cracks were meticulously repaired and enhanced with pure 24k gold. These golden lines, true paths of light, tell a story of resilience and transform every imperfection into a mark of beauty and uniqueness.
This bowl is much more than a simple object; it is a functional piece of art, fully reusable. It is perfect for serving tea, desserts, or small appetizers, adding a touch of refinement, history, and symbolism to your table.
