24k Gold Kintsugi Matcha Bowl (Black/Red)

This unique and beautiful ceramic matcha bowl has been restored using the traditional Japanese art of kintsugi. Repaired with great care, precision, and patience, the kintsugi technique enhances the bowl’s natural beauty while drawing attention to the distinctive cracks and imperfections that give it character. The use of genuine 24k gold in the repair adds a striking contrast, turning the piece into a truly distinctive work of art.

With its authentic kintsugi restoration and luminous gold detailing, this one-of-a-kind matcha bowl is perfect for those who appreciate the charm of handmade pottery and wish to bring a touch of elegance to their tea-drinking ritual.

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.
