The Kintsugi Mug features 24-carat gold detailing applied to white porcelain in a pattern that imitates the mending of cracks, referencing the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with precious metals. Designed by Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba, the gold application follows irregular lines across the surface, creating a multicolour contrast against the white porcelain body. The construction uses high-quality porcelain as its base material, with the gold finish adding both visual texture and a tactile quality to the piece.
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 porcelain tableware items — such as this mug — in a manner that imitates the smoothing over of a series of cracks, in a nod to the beauty of regeneration and repair.
