It sat unused for years, preserved in remarkable condition. Rather than leaving it tucked away, we gave it a fresh line of life through traditional kintsugi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of using gold, this piece was restored with natural urushi lacquer and finished with fine brass powder. A single golden seam now runs straight down the center, cutting through the intricate floral design. It creates a calm contrast between classical porcelain craft and the quiet philosophy of wabi-sabi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, the brass seam will soften and develop its own natural patina, slowly aging alongside the ceramic. You can use it as a serving platter for quiet dinners or place it on a stand as an interior art piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: Arita, Saga Prefecture, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\nTechnique: Traditional Urushi Kintsugi with Fine Brass Finish\u003cbr\u003e\nMotif: Peony and Peacock (Botan \u0026amp; Kujaku)\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: Diameter 26.5 cm (10.4 in) x Height 3.3 cm (1.3 in)\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: Restored Vintage (Food-safe)\u003cbr\u003e\nEdition: One of one\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash gently by hand with a soft sponge and mild dish soap.
