This matte khaki Japanese stoneware vase carries a deeply restrained presence. Its vertical, gently contained form feels almost silent: a simple, dense volume whose matte surface absorbs light rather than reflecting it.
The 24k gold Kintsugi restoration interrupts this restraint with luminous precision. The gold lines travel across the piece like an inner cartography, revealing points of tension, rupture, and memory. The fracture is not erased: it becomes the vase’s secret architecture.
The contrast between the matte stoneware, deep and almost mineral, and the radiance of gold creates a rare tension. Nothing here is merely ornamental: the gold acts as a sign, a trace, a breath within the material. It gives the object a meditative dimension, suspended between relic, sculpture, and abstract landscape.
With its 18 cm height, this vase may be displayed on its own, in a niche, on a console, or on a shelf, as a discreet yet intensely present artwork.
A unique piece, where the sobriety of stoneware meets the light of the fracture.
