The Kintsugi Soup Bowl features porcelain construction with 24 carat gold detailing applied to imitate the smoothing over of cracks, drawing from the Japanese tradition of repairing pottery with precious metals. Designed by Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba, the gold lines trace across the white porcelain surface, creating a pattern that varies across each piece. The contrast between the white body and the gold detailing gives the bowl a distinctive, artisanal character.
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 soup bowl — in a manner that imitates the smoothing over of a series of cracks, in a nod to the beauty of regeneration and repair.
