From Wikipedia: Kintsugi (Japanese: 金継ぎ, romanized: "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The method is similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

A set of 6 material sets + 1 Kintsugi overlay for Pietary's teapot and the cup from Amy Aimei's tea set (both available for free over at Rendo).

As a bonus I included some general shaders, including the same color variations + 1 Kintsugi overlay versions of each. Please note that while the shaders are tiling, most objects it would make sense to apply them to probably won't.

 

Small overview of the content:

• 3 (blue, brown and black) materials for the cup
• 3 speckled versions of the above
• 1 Kintsugi overlay for the cup
• 3 (blue, brown and black) materials for the teapot
• 3 speckled versions of the above
• 1 Kintsugi overlay for the teapot
• 3 (blue, brown and black) materials for the lid
• 3 speckled versions of the above
• 1 Kintsugi overlay for the lid
• 3 (blue, brown and black) tiling shaders
• 3 speckled versions of the above
• 3 (blue, brown and black) tiling shaders with kintsugi overlays
• 3 speckled versions of the above
