A 2nd Chance

I was in awe when I first heard the story behind the Crackery range from Ornamented Life.

The creative brainchild of Joana Meroz who's based in The Netherlands and who is a true advocate to the concept of "Reduce - Recycle - Reuse". She deliberately collects white porcelain that are chipped or cracked and transforms them into individual treasures. How does she do that?

She celebrates their imperfections by highlighting every chip and/or crack by fusing them with gold luster. She transfers her signature floral blossom art onto every piece to represent the beginnings of a new lease of life.

Classic Saucer (which can double as a dessert plate)+ Cup.

Repairing of broken ceramics with gold lacquer is Joana's contemporary take of an ancient Japanese tradition.


Every fault is unique, every piece is truly one of a kind.
