The Kintsugi glass offers a transparent interpretation of the traditional Japanese pottery repair technique. Its clear glass construction features 24 carat gold applied to create crack-like patterns, bringing the ancient art of kintsugi to modern glassware. The technique transforms the concept of repair into decorative beauty, while the glass material provides clarity and durability for beverage service.
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.
