This beautiful orange wood bowl was hand-turned and hand-polished from an orange tree on the Big Island of Hawaii by professional bowl turner Llosh Winne. With real turquoise detailing and stunning lines and colors organically formed in the wood, this bowl is a true work of art, perfect for a wedding gift or home décor item. This vase-shaped bowl is repaired and beautified in Japanese kintsugi-inspired style. The artist fills holes and cracks in the wood with colorful turquoise gemstones. More than an art form, kintsugi is a metaphor for healing, reminding us that what is broken can be fixed. Instead of discarding something that breaks, we can repair it and the repair adds beauty and value, just like our challenges and traumas can strengthen us as humans. As a philosophy, Japanese kintsugi treats breakage and repair as an honorable and beautiful part of the history of an object that enhances, rather than diminishes, the value. Kintsugi teaches us that the “flaws” in wood art are what make each piece unique and valuable. We use the highest quality, organic finishing products, making our bowls food safe and chemical-free. Can be engraved. 5 inches diameter x 7 inches tall
