24k Gold Kintsugi Shigaraki Vase

This beautifully kintsugi-repaired shigaraki vase is a striking piece that blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a touch of modern elegance. It offers a captivating fusion of artistry and functionality.

Meticulously restored using authentic kintsugi techniques and genuine 24k gold, the vase pairs the refined brilliance of gold seams with the earthy texture of rustic shigaraki pottery.

Celebrated for its organic charm and natural aesthetic, shigaraki ware is deeply rooted in Japanese ceramic tradition. This vase captures that heritage through its raw yet graceful form. The contrast between the radiant gold repairs and the vessel’s original surface creates a compelling visual harmony that draws the eye.

A timeless piece, this vase brings a quiet sense of beauty and presence to any space—embodying serenity, resilience, and elegance.

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.
