Polylocated Canton Porcelain Bowl – 19th Century Kintsugi Restoration

Discover a true historical treasure with this Canton porcelain bowl, dating from the 19th century. Measuring approximately 4.9 inches (12.5 cm) in diameter and 2.4 inches (6 cm) in height, its elegant and refined polylocated shape is typical of Chinese craftsmanship from that era. The interior is adorned with a vibrant turquoise background that invites contemplation.

The bowl is delicately decorated with peonies and birds, highly symbolic motifs. In Chinese culture, the peony represents wealth, honor, and prosperity, while birds are messengers of luck and happiness. This remarkably fine decoration makes this piece a true narrative work of art.

A Historical Renaissance in 24-Karat Gold

Once broken, this bowl was magnificently resurrected through the ancestral kintsugi technique. Each fracture was not hidden but enhanced with a golden lacquer, creating a network of precious lines that bear witness to its history and resilience. The use of pure 24-karat gold for this restoration adds unique value and brilliance.

This bowl is much more than a mere collector’s item; it is a bridge between the past and the present, a piece that combines history, art, and functionality. It can be reused to serve delicate dishes, adding a touch of refinement and serenity to your cherished moments.
