Measuring approximately 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) in diameter and 2.4 inches (6 cm) in height, its “Wan Nari” (碗形) shape, characterized by a soft and harmonious silhouette, is highly prized for its perfect balance and delicate feel in hand, inviting serene moments of tasting.
This radiant white bowl is adorned with a delicate design of a single hand-painted pink peony.

The Shimmering Renaissance of 24-Karat Gold Kintsugi
Once broken, this bowl was magnificently resurrected through the ancestral technique of kintsugi. Rather than being hidden, its fissures were meticulously repaired and enhanced with pure 24-karat 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 just an 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.
