Exquisite 19th-Century Chinese Vase with Kintsugi Restoration (24k Gold)
This isn’t just a vase; it’s a testament to history and resilience. This 19th-century Chinese porcelain vase, standing at 25 cm, features a classic bottle shape with a rounded body and a long, elegant neck.
Originally acquired at auction in a fragmented state, this piece has been meticulously restored using the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi. The fractures have been beautifully mended with 24-karat gold, turning its imperfections into a focal point of its beauty.
The intricate blue dragon motif on the white porcelain is a powerful symbol of strength and wisdom. The Kintsugi philosophy—of embracing flaws and celebrating a piece’s history—perfectly complements this symbolism.
More than a decorative object, this is a unique work of art that tells a compelling story of transformation and value.
