Jars Black Stoneware Bowl, Sublimed with Gold Kintsugi

This small black stoneware bowl, signed by the prestigious Jars house, is an exceptional piece that blends the elegance of French ceramics with the poetry of Japanese art. Its open shape, with its 3 cm height and 11 cm diameter, makes it a delicate and versatile object, perfectly suited for food use.

The story of this bowl is one of renaissance. Once broken, it was restored with meticulous attention using the traditional kintsugi technique. The cracks, witnesses to its past, are now sublimed by Japanese lacquer and the precious gleam of 22-karat gold, creating a striking contrast with the black stoneware.

The glaze of this bowl presents a subtle play of textures, alternating between matte and glossy, which gives it depth and a unique character. The dark brown paste adds a touch of warmth and rusticity to the whole.

This bowl is not just a decorative object; it’s a collector’s item that tells a story of resilience and rediscovered beauty. Its compatibility with food use makes it both an aesthetic and functional object, ideal for serving appetizers, desserts, or small salads. It will appeal to art and design enthusiasts looking for unique and history-laden objects.
