Porcelain woman Bust with kintsugi

About the Item

This female bust, sculpted in a brilliant white porcelain, evokes the grace and nobility of antique statues. Coiffed with an elegant high chignon, this 38 cm tall figure captivates with its presence and timeless aura. But the story of this bust is one of metamorphosis. Once broken, it was restored with infinite care, using the ancestral kintsugi technique. The cracks, witnesses to its past, are now sublimated by the precious gleam of 22-karat gold. Each golden line tells a story of resilience, of rediscovered beauty, and transforms this bust into a unique work of art. This bust is not just a decorative object; it’s a celebration of the strength and beauty that emerge from trials. It embodies the spirit of kintsugi, the art of sublimating scars, of transforming wounds into assets. It reminds us that fragility can be a source of beauty, that trials can strengthen our essence. This restored bust is an invitation to contemplate the beauty of imperfection, to celebrate resilience, and to embrace the history of each object. It will appeal to art and design enthusiasts looking for unique and emotionally charged objects.
