Kintsugi No.3 Drinking Glass - Transparent, Gold

The Kintsugi Glass features 24-carat gold detailing applied across its surface in patterns that mimic the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with precious metals. Designed by Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba, the gold traces follow the contours of simulated cracks, creating a decorative finish that contrasts with the clear glass body. The technique, rooted in the centuries-old practice of kintsugi, treats the appearance of repair as an aesthetic feature rather than a flaw.

Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba's collaboration with Seletti continues with the 'Kintsugi' collection, a series that incorporates the centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with precious metals. Here, the technique materialises with 24 carat gold applied to a range of tableware items — such as this clear glass — in a manner that imitates the smoothing over of a series of cracks, in a nod to the beauty of regeneration and repair.
