Bringing an offbeat attitude and Italian-made high-quality to our homes since 1964, Seletti is back with its Kingtsugi collection. Inspired by the Japanese tradition of 'Kintsugi' which repairs broken pottery with hints of gold, this bowl has been crafted from porcelain and features flecks of 24-Carat with butterfly motifs and an asymmetric trim. Elegant yet unusual, it's sure to be a talking point at tea and every other occasion. Contrary to western belief, in the east, when something is broken, mending it gives it even more beauty. Kintsukuroi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery, used here by the Italian maker Seletti to craft the Kintsugi bowl. It’s a Marcantonio design with cultural inspirations. Just when you thought your tableware couldn’t get any more desirable… (cheers, Seletti, we’ll drink to that). Seletti's kintsugi fruit bowl is where Kintsugi Japanese art assumes contemporary shapes . The delicate porcelain is glorified and enriched with gold fragments for a tableware collection of charming and unexpected compositions. Serve up in style.
