FAQs

What is the Kintsugi collection inspired by?

The Kintsugi collection is inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, which is the practice of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. It treats breakage and repair as part of the object's history, rather than something to disguise.

Is the gold used on the glass real?

Yes, the detailing on the Seletti Kintsugi collection, including this glass, is made with genuine 24-carat gold.

Can I use this glass in the microwave?

Yes, the Seletti Kintsugi Glass is microwave safe, making it convenient for reheating beverages.

Is this glass dishwasher safe?

Yes, the glass is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. However, hand washing is recommended to preserve the gold detailing for longer.

What are the dimensions of the glass?

The dimensions of the glass are approximately Ø 7.6 cm in diameter and 10.5 cm in height.

Will the gold wash off if I use the dishwasher?

While the glass is dishwasher safe, repeated or harsh dishwasher cycles could potentially affect the gold over a very long period. For optimal preservation of the gold's luster, hand washing is the preferred method.

Is each glass exactly the same?

No, due to the artistic nature of the Kintsugi design, each glass will have a unique pattern of 'cracks' and gold application, making every piece one-of-a-kind.

Troubleshooting

Gold detailing appears to be fading or wearing off.

This is typically due to aggressive washing methods. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding abrasive materials. If possible, opt for hand washing for best results.

Glass has minor imperfections not related to the 'cracks'.

Due to the handmade nature and unique design inspired by repaired pottery, slight variations and minor imperfections in the glass itself can occur, contributing to its artisanal character.

Glass feels rough on the 'cracked' areas.

The Kintsugi technique involves applying gold over intentionally created 'cracks'. The texture is part of the artistic design; ensure no sharp edges are present, which is unlikely with proper manufacturing.
