Broken ceramics repaired with urushi lacquer and 24‑karat gold. Small batch. Made by hand. Each one numbered, each one unrepeatable.

In the mysterious Orient the shadows are made to work — the beauty of a room is felt only by the play of shadow against shadow.
A small number of commissions are accepted each season. If you have a ceramic you love but cannot discard — a cup from a grandmother, a bowl from a journey — send a photograph. We will talk about what is possible.
