One-of-a-kind Octopus Bowl — Repaired with Kintsugi
This monumental ceramic sculpture features a vivid red octopus nestled inside a deep, ocean-blue bowl. Its tentacles curl dramatically around the edges, extending beyond the rim to create a bold, immersive presence.
The piece took several months to complete, involving a long and complex process of building, glazing, and multiple firings. During its creation, the bowl and tentacles developed several cracks. Instead of discarding the work, I chose to honor its history through the ancient Japanese technique of Kintsugi — repairing the fractures with real gold. A dedicated Kintsugi master worked for over six months to restore it, giving each crack new life and meaning.
This is a truly one-of-a-kind artwork that will never be repeated. Bold, expressive, and full of character, it’s not just a decorative piece — it’s a symbol of resilience, transformation, and the beauty of imperfection.

Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Returns
Packages can be shipped internationally via DHL. Shipping price is calculated during checkout. Orders are shipped from Germany. DHL delivery times are usually 3-8 days within EU and 10-20 days for the rest of the world. Please note that I do everything myself, so I also need time to prepare the package for delivery, which is usually extra 2-3 days.
If your country is not available for checkout for some reason, please contact me and I will double check if it is possible to send to you.
When delivering outside of European Union, taxes, customs fees or import duties may apply. You are responsible for paying these taxes, fees and duties to your local authority. For precise information about the costs involved, please contact your local government or post office.
Please note that I pack very securely to protect the items from damaging, but it is still possible for something to happen during delivery, as ceramics and porcelain is inherently fragile and delivery companies under rare circumstances may be careless - for further information on what to do in this case please check the shipping policy or the return policy.
