FAQs
What is the 'Kintsugi' inspiration behind this glass?
The Kintsugi collection is inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. This philosophy highlights the beauty of imperfection and treats breakage and repair as part of the object's history, rather than something to disguise.
Is the gold detailing real 24-carat gold?
Yes, the detailing on the Seletti Kintsugi collection is applied using 24-carat gold.
Are these glasses suitable for hot beverages?

Can I use this glass for serving wine or cocktails?
Absolutely. The unique design makes it a striking choice for serving wine, cocktails, or any beverage you wish to present with artistic flair.
How do I clean the gold details without damaging them?
For best results, handwash with a soft sponge and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. While dishwasher safe, frequent high-heat cycles might affect the gold over an extended period.

Troubleshooting
Gold detailing appears to be fading or wearing off.
This is uncommon with proper care. Ensure you are not using abrasive cleaning materials or harsh chemicals. If handwashing, use a soft sponge. If using a dishwasher, ensure it is on a gentle cycle. For significant wear, contact Seletti customer support.
Glass has a chip or crack.
Due to the nature of the design and materials, chips or cracks can occur with impact. Inspect carefully before use. If the damage is minor and on the rim, it may still be usable with caution. For significant damage, the item should be retired.
Glass has water spots after washing.
Ensure the glass is dried immediately after washing with a soft, lint-free cloth. Using a rinse aid in your dishwasher can also help reduce water spots.
