The philosophy behind kintsugi lies in honoring our imperfections. Instead of trying to conceal the damage of a broken ceramic, or even throwing it out altogether, the piece gets repaired with a stream of gold. Thus, the break is featured instead of hidden, transforming the sale damage into its most valuable asset. This shift from useless to priceless makes each piece singularly unique. Given that we each have a past filled with our own stories, this isn't a bad philosophy to live by.

Unlike other modern-day kintsugi artists, every single ceramic that is repaired by Puro Kintsugi is done so using traditional materials and methods. It is a delicate process and cannot withstand everyday wear and tear. Thus, you are purchasing art. These ceramics are NOT food safe, but make elegant display art, vessels, or bedside pieces for jewelry and other treasures. All orders include shipping insurance & a simple, elegant card that briefly explains the history of and philosophy behind the ancient art of kintsugi.
