24k Gold Kintsugi Matcha Bowl (Ash Glaze)

This one-of-a-kind ash glaze ceramic matcha bowl has been thoughtfully repaired using the traditional Japanese art of kintsugi. The restoration, carried out with great care and precision, highlights the bowl’s unique cracks and imperfections—celebrating them as part of its story. Genuine 24k gold has been used in the repair, creating a striking contrast against the ceramic and enhancing the bowl’s natural beauty.

A perfect blend of craftsmanship and elegance, this matcha bowl is ideal for those who value the artistry of handmade ceramics and wish to elevate their tea ritual with a truly distinctive piece.

I use only traditional kintsugi techniques (no epoxy and mica powder); natural urushi lacquers are cured in a muro box and 24k gold for food vessels, both of which are food safe. I also use genuine silver, copper and brass (as well as gold) for repairs not being used for food or drink. All vessels in my shop (matcha bowl, tea cup/pot, Ikebana/vase, mugs, tumblers etc.) have been tested for water fastness.
