"Northern Lights" Kintsugi Bowl

Our Raku-fired and inspired Kintsugi pieces are meant to symbolize that when our ease is interrupted by trauma or pain, we can mend and bring ourselves back to beauty, often with spectacular results.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade Raku-inspired bowl has been broken and mended using a traditional Kintsugi Kintsukuroi method, modern materials, and powdered gold brass imported from Japan.

Each item is completely handmade by Brian Ohlsen from an initial ball of clay on the potter’s wheel. The Kintsugi art form of repairing broken pieces is replicated in the traditional method as closely as possible, using powdered metals imported from Japan.

Each unique piece is added to our inventory once its intensive creative journey is completed. Each clay piece is formed by human hands and glazed with intense color by natural resources. Much like the human race, no two are ever the same.

Ten percent of the sales from these pieces will be donated to two deserving charities: the National Children's Cancer Society and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

We import genuine gold brass from Japan and emulate the traditional process to create authentic Kintsugi pieces.

Because of the metal content of these elements, our pieces are meant for display only and can not be used for food purposes.
