This Kintsugi ceramic piece celebrates the beauty of imperfection, where cracks are carefully mended using a modern Kintsugi technique that transforms flaws into unique features. Each repair is a tribute to craftsmanship, turning what was once broken into something truly special.

Finished with Bengara-urushi (弁柄漆), a warm iron-oxide red lacquer that enhances and complements the bowl’s natural, rustic character.

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.

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.
