Kintsugi vase palmettes decorations

For this white matte porcelain vase, which was accidentally broken, I decided to use a particularly difficult and delicate technique in addition to 24-carat gold kintsugi: maki-e with gold leaf.

This is the mystery ingredient of this restoration: palmettes in 18-carat gold leaf..

This technique requires meticulous, patient work.

The result? A 10cm-high piece that has become absolutely unique. The alliance of two ancestral techniques and a noble-looking vase.
