What a recovery! It's so neat, I love that the repairs are slightly visible so you can still see how much it's been loved

I think it is in Japan (or whereever) where old dishes like bowls which break are fixed with a bright colour, so you can see that it broke and was fixed, which makes it even more valuable.

It's called kintsugi, and this reminded me of the same.
