Its glossy black glaze is hand-brushed with striations in varying tones. The deep cup is raised on a slender pedestal. Arita ware is among the most collected Japanese porcelain and is prized for its precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(178, 137, 91);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShaped by Arita’s Legacy: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis piece also comes from Arita ware, Japan’s first porcelain tradition.

Keiko Hata carried out the kintsugi. She holds a Master's degree in Lacquer Arts from Kyoto City University of Arts and creates contemporary urushi artworks. She also continues to conserve Buddhist statuary alongside her kintsugi practice. Over roughly four months, she worked with natural urushi, rejoining each break and finishing with roiro, the highest level of urushi polishing — a lacquer tradition sustained across centuries in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\" aria-labelledby=\"vertical-dialogue\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"vertical-dialogue\" style=\"font-size: 1em; color: rgb(178, 137, 91); margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eVertical Dialogue\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; color: #333; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003eThe original striped glaze moves horizontally across the bowl. In contrast, the kintsugi restoration introduces a single vertical line of 24K gold. Together, these elements create a unique visual balance, shaped by the vessel's original break and the artist's careful restoration using natural urushi lacquer. The restored line becomes part of the bowl's final composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Kintsugi Labo JAPAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47267996762301,"sku":"AT0166","price":659.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0510\/1803\/9485\/files\/footed-bowl-authentic-kintsugi-arita-ware-24k-gold-food-safe-front-view-at0166.jpg?v=1783060370","url":"https:\/\/kintsugilabo.com\/en-ch\/products\/24k-gold-kintsugi-arita-footed-bowl-a-passage-on-the-black","provider":"The Kintsugi Labo JAPAN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
