Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer (usually urushi lacquer) dusted or mixed with powdered gold, or silver on the broken edges/seams. It is more a philosophy than a genuine way to fully repair something. But it is more process oriented than results oriented.
In highlighting the scars and cracks , we accept what is broken. To be broken is not always a loss. Some times you have to break to open and let the light in to escape the darkness.
Pain is a teacher that can make you more beautiful and purposeful in life.
To break in this world is to live.
Now more than ever we need to appreciate every moment, all the little details, and the way we show love in the kindest gestures. We must feel our feelings, to love everyone as much as we can and not be afraid to say it or show it in both big and small ways.
Appreciate life. It is so precious and so fragile.

PLEASE NOTE! These are not suitable to be pot plants as there is no drainage hole, and any plant you put in it will suffer from pot rot because of the lack of drainage. It is made to be a vase and hold water.

Hand wash only.
