This beautiful karakusa patterned tea cup features a small Kintsugi repair along the rim, thoughtfully mended to honour the piece rather than conceal its history. The tiny chip has been carefully restored using a modern Kintsugi method, creating a subtle gold accent that complements the soft blue underglaze and intricate floral motif.

Although minimal, the repair brings a unique warmth and character to the mug - a gentle reminder of resilience and the beauty of imperfection.

Kintsugi is a time-intensive process that requires patience, skill and care. Even with modern methods, each repair demands precision to achieve a strong and seamless finish. Our pricing reflects the time, materials and expertise involved, and we believe in paying craftspeople fairly so this evolving tradition can continue to thrive.

Every Kintsugi piece is priced individually, as no two repairs are ever the same.
All materials used in the repair are fully food safe for everyday use.

Origin

Mino Ware

For over 1,300 years, Mino ware has been at the heart of Japanese ceramic making. Today it produces more than half of all ceramics in Japan, blending time-honoured traditions with modern techniques. What makes Mino ware unique is its diversity - rather than a single style, it encompasses more than 15 distinct types, each officially recognised as a traditional craft.

Care & Characteristics

Care for Kintsugi Pieces
Due to the delicate nature of Kintsugi repairs, it’s important to handle your piece with extra care. The gold or silver-filled cracks are part of the piece's unique character, but they can be more fragile than the original ceramic. To preserve the beauty of your Kintsugi item:

Avoid using it in the microwave or dishwasher.
Gently hand wash with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Store in a safe place away from heavy impact or direct pressure.

As with all handmade pieces, expect some variations in the appearance, making each item one-of-a-kind.

Characteristics
Each Kintsugi piece has its own distinctive pattern and repair, reflecting the art of mending with gold or silver. These pieces may show slight variations from the images, making every item unique.
