24k Gold Kintsugi Shigaraki Matcha Bowl (White/Black)

This striking Shigaraki matcha bowl features a rich, earthy texture and has been artfully restored using the time-honored Japanese technique of kintsugi. Through patience, skill, and careful craftsmanship, its delicate 24k gold repair accentuates the bowl’s natural flaws, transforming them into elements of beauty and character. The brilliant gold contrasts gracefully with the black and white ceramic, making this piece a remarkable tribute to the art of renewal.

Merging tradition with refined artistry, this unique matcha bowl is perfect for those who appreciate handcrafted pottery and wish to enhance their tea rituals with timeless 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.
