Renewed Elegance: Matte Black Ceramic Vase with 22K Gold Kintsugi and Applied Birds
Discover a matte black ceramic vase of subtle sophistication, enhanced by an elegant decoration of two stylized applied birds. Standing at 14.2 inches (36 cm) tall, this striking piece captures the eye with its clean silhouette and deep matte finish, which absorbs light and highlights the delicate nature of its lines. The two applied birds add a touch of texture, lightness, and poetry, creating a harmonious contrast with the intensity of the black.
Once broken, this vase has been meticulously restored using the ancient traditional Kintsugi technique with 22-carat gold. Far from masking its past, this method sublimates the fractures by transforming them into precious golden veins. Each gold line tells the story of its resilience, transforming imperfection into a mark of beauty and authenticity. This is no longer just a vase, but a work of art that embodies the Japanese philosophy of accepting and celebrating repair.
This Kintsugi vase will be a centerpiece in your home, whether displayed alone as a contemporary sculpture or holding a bouquet of dried flowers. It’s an eloquent testament to the beauty that can emerge from reconstruction, and a unique addition for art and design enthusiasts.
