Japanese Stoneware Bowl – Cedar & Kintsugi with 24-Karat Gold

Discover the sober elegance and rich craftsmanship of Japanese art with this magnificent stoneware bowl. Measuring 12 cm in diameter and 8 cm in height, its “Komogai Nari” (or “Komogai-gata”) shape, which originated in Korea and is highly valued in Japan, is characterized by gently flared sides and a generous, curved body, making it particularly comfortable to hold.

Its satin white glaze highlights the delicacy of a hand-painted cedar, a powerful symbol in Japanese culture that embodies longevity, resilience, and strength.

Once broken, this bowl was beautifully enhanced by the traditional kintsugi technique. Rather than being hidden, its cracks were repaired and brought to light with a 24-karat gold lacquer, creating a network of precious lines that bear witness to its history and rebirth.

More than just an object, this bowl is a unique and perfectly functional work of art. It is ready to be reused for enjoying your tea, soup, or any other dish, adding a touch of history and serenity to every moment.
