This small bowl is from Barratt’s of Staffordshire and probably made in the early 20th century. It is the first part of collection of Kintsugi work where I find old pottery pieces which is damaged and then repaired using the technique of Kintsugi.
The piece has been finished with 24 carat gold leaf highlighting the repairs in the style of Kintsugi
Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as Kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique.
This is a a repaired Staffordshire bowl and is therefore not functional. Delicate cleaning is recommended using a soft brush or gentle dusting with a lint free cloth. The piece should not be washed, not cleaned in a dishwasher.
