This is so beautiful, so clever, and yet so practical. I have many Japanese bowls. If one broke I would be so disappointed....now I have this lovely remedy. Thank you @JonSR77 . And thank you RadishRose for extra examples...good ones!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; the method is similar to the maki-e technique.

Hey, you are really creative!! It reminds me a little of this mobile by Dan Sisken.Once I did take a bunch of the wires from Chinese take out food containers....and I created this odd kind of mobile out of them. I called it "Old Weird Uncle Harold."
I mostly called it that, because it really completely failed as a piece of art. But, the failure itself was a lot of fun.
Cheers!
wonderful!
Love it! You find such good pieces! I've never found ones that good...I'm still on the Kintsugi kick
Fascinating!Netsuke are fun...
A netsuke (根付, [netsɯ̥ke]) is a miniature sculpture, originating in 17th century Japan. Initially a simply-carved button fastener on the cords of an inro box, netsuke later developed into ornately sculpted objects of craftsmanship.
