AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Description
This is a striking matcha bowl (chawan) bearing the "Kodaiji" (高台寺) kiln mark, beautifully enhanced with the traditional art of kintsugi gold repair. This bowl features beautiful kintsugi restoration that enhances its artistic value. The piece represents an elegant fusion of Kyoto ceramic tradition and the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection.
The bowl features a captivating red-toned glaze that displays dramatic variations across its surface. The glaze exhibits beautiful gradations ranging from warm terracotta to deeper reddish-orange hues, creating dynamic visual movement that gives the piece a powerful artistic presence. These natural color variations and surface patterns showcase the expressive qualities achieved during the firing process, making each angle of the bowl reveal different nuances of beauty.
The kintsugi restoration on this piece is particularly striking and artistically executed. Golden lacquer lines flow across the bowl like natural veins or lightning bolts, transforming what were once fractures into luminous pathways of pure gold. Rather than diminishing the bowl's value, these golden repairs enhance its character, embodying the wabi-sabi aesthetic that celebrates impermanence and imperfection. The contrast between the warm red glaze and the brilliant gold creates a visually stunning effect that draws the eye and invites contemplation.
The intimate scale and warm tones of this bowl make it well-suited for tea ceremony use, while the combination of the beautiful glaze work and masterful kintsugi repair elevates it to a piece of decorative art. The Kodaiji kiln mark connects this piece to Kyoto's rich ceramic heritage, adding historical and cultural significance.
This bowl is far more than a simple tea vessel - it is a piece that tells a story of resilience, tradition, and the beauty of transformation through its stunning visual presence and expert restoration.
