Kintsugi Vase for the White House - A Presidential Gift to the PM of Japan
www.lakesidepottery.com - This red Kintsugi vase was created for President Joe Biden, requested by the State Department, to present to the Japanese Prime Minister Suga. I am delighted to see the Kintsugi metaphor now part of international affairs as a symbol of renewal and healing. The shown Kintsugi work implemented by Morty Bachar using a 23.5 karat gold on a 13" red vase made by Ben Owen, North Carolina.

https://lakesidepottery.com - KINTSUGI REPAIR: Learn How Is It Made? Materials and processes used for different methods. This video illustrates two of the three Kintsugi methods we use in our studio. Using real gold (23.5K) and brass-based Gold Effect, a lower cost alternative (see costs ratio below). We also show some of the principles of inserting Gemstone applying the Kintsugi process. You would also see some examples including Kintsugi art made for the White House and Prince Lorenzo de Medici of Italy.

I forgot to insert in the video the cost comparison of all three Kintsugi methods - see below for a percentage figure:
- Urushi adhesive and filler, Urushi lacquer with real gold powder: 100% cost
