AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant vase with sinuous lines and a slender design, characterized by a splendid pictorial decoration in traditional style.

Decoration: The body of the vase is adorned with a panoramic blue ink painting (cobalt blue style) depicting a suggestive mountainous river landscape, enriched by delicate representations of grapevines, leaves and grape clusters painted with green and purplish tones in the details.

The Restorations Kintsugi: The object presents the characteristic lines of an artistic repair carried out according to the ancient philosophy of Kintsugi. The fractures have been reassembled highlighting the cracks with thin and luminous threads of gold leaf. This technique not only restores the object, but enhances its history and intrinsic beauty, transforming the breakage into a unique decorative element of great aesthetic and conceptual value (the concept of wabi-sabi, the beauty of imperfection).

Conditions: The object presents itself in good general aesthetic condition, with the kintsugi repair stabilized and decorative. Please carefully examine the attached photographs to appreciate every detail of the workmanship and the state of conservation.
