Kintsugi Stoneware Vase: When the Stormy Sky Meets the Melody of Love
Behold this unique stoneware vase, standing at a height of 25 cm, its glossy glaze in shades of grey and blue reminiscent of the shifting beauty of a stormy sky. This mineral canvas carries within it a story of fragility sublimated by the Japanese art of Kintsugi. The cracks, far from being concealed, are magnified by precious lines of 22-karat gold, transforming trials into a testament to resilience and rediscovered beauty.
At the heart of this poetic restoration lies a captivating singularity. Where a simple gold repair might have sufficed, an authentic fragment of antique handwritten sheet music has been delicately integrated. This vibrant excerpt from Bizet’s opera Carmen whispers a timeless promise: “l’amour t’attend” (love awaits you).
Imagine the encounter between the telluric strength of stoneware, the fluid and changing colors of a stormy sky, and the delicate nature of a handwritten melody. Kintsugi, by highlighting fractures with the brilliance of gold, engages here in a dialogue with the message of hope and perseverance in the musical quote. It is a celebration of the beauty that emerges from fragility, much like a stormy sky that gives way to light.
More than just a decorative object, this vase is a unique collector’s piece, imbued with history, symbolism, and a visual and conceptual poetry. It will bring a singular presence to your space, inviting contemplation and reverie.
