Blue floor vase Kintsugi

About the Item

This elegant earthenware jar, an impressive 100 cm high, is based on one of the most famous vase shapes in Chinese art: the Meiping. This simple yet voluptuous silhouette dates back over 1000 years. It was long considered a tour de force for potters: its imposing format and the perfection of its volumes demanded exceptional technical mastery! This refined silhouette has survived the centuries to become one of the great classics of Asian art. And these jars, originally lidded and designed to hold alcohol, have since become highly prized decorative objects for collectors. Here, this jar has been incised and then magnified by the application of pure 24-carat gold to imitate the cracks restored with kintsugi. This patient, meticulous craftsmanship makes this jar absolutely unique: it can now be used as a vase or as a work of art to be displayed in your home, as a centerpiece of your interior decoration! Myriam’s view: I’m particularly sensitive to Meiping vases: their timelessness and modernity are very touching. In France, we’re lucky enough to be able to admire one of the rarest masterpieces of its kind at the Musée Guimet!

Korean Caledon Vase Bottle with Kintsugi Repair Goryeo Dynasty
Located in Atlanta, GA
A ceramic wide-mouthed bottle vase covered in green celadon glaze from Goryeo dynasty circa 11-12th century. The bottle vase with such a form (mouth with wide rim, long and slender neck, tall body with swelled shoulders that taper down toward the base) is known as "kwanggubyong" in Korean and developed from the prototype of bottles from united Silla kingdom. It was used for holding oil or liquid. Some of this type of vase take a plain form without much decoration other than glaze; Some feature basic geometrical lines, such as this one. Three concentric rings were featured along the neck and on the shoulder. Some with more carving on the body (see a vase in the collection of Brooklyn Musuem, 79.246.3) or a simple paint with iron glaze (See c.16-1930 in Fitzwilliam Musuem, Cambridge, UK). The vase on offer is covered in a lovely green celadon glaze which exhibits fine even crackles throughout the surface. It has a slightly uneven base with the foot ring shaved by the potter. The surface is original with a nice mellow patina. There is a historical kintsugi repair on the mouth rim, with its gold vain...
