"Love Rivets" Blue and White Plate

Referencing the Japanese artform of kintsugi, where artisans would fix broken ceramics with precious metals, this blue and white plate has been affectionately renamed "Love Rivets." The repaired cracks change the plate from one of thousands of similar objects, into a unique artwork all its own. This plate is one piece from a collection of trade objects we recently acquired from one of our favorite artists. During his travels around the world, he purchased items whose stories, forms, and culture would go on to inspire his later work. From that larger collection, we curated spirited items that inspire us and highlight the cross-cultural nature that defines PAGODA RED's design aesthetic
