Wan-Nari Kintsugi Bowl in Shino: A Journey Through Japanese Tradition
This 11.5 cm diameter, 7 cm tall Japanese stoneware bowl is a true masterpiece.
Its Wan-Nari shape, characteristic of Japanese tea bowls, is inspired by the wooden bowls used in tea ceremonies.
The Shino glaze, famous for its milky white color, delicately reveals the clay color, showcasing the potter’s skill.
The wheel-thrown marks, visible on the entire surface of the bowl, testify to its handcrafted nature.
The spiral-shaped foot (kajiri-kodai) adds a touch of elegance.
Broken and restored with the art of kintsugi, this bowl is a celebration of the beauty of imperfection.
The 24-karat gold veins, which accentuate the fracture lines, make it a unique work of art.
The potter’s mark, stamped on the base, attests to its authenticity.
